Lorna Sage was a much admired literary critic - very well known in academic circles and to readers of her reviews in newspapers and magazines. She also edited The Cambridge Guide to Women's Writing in English.
But it was her memoir Bad Blood that made her a household name. Lorna died earlier this year just as her book was awarded the Whitbread Prize for biography.
Now a new collection of her critical work Moments of Truth is being published, in which she examines the work of women like Simone de Beauvoir and Virginia Woolf.
So what was Lorna's impact as a champion of women's work?
Jenni is joined by Hermione Lee, author of the definitive book on Virginia Woolf and Marina Warner, author of the introduction to Lorna's new book and whose own novel The Leto Bundle is on the long short list for the Booker Prize.
Bad Blood by Lorna Sage (Fourth Estate, ISBN: 1841150436, 拢6.99).
Moments of Truth by Lorna Sage (Fourth Estate; ISBN: 1841156353, 拢15.00 - to be published on 3rd September).
