From the description of Brigid Brophy letters and post cards to Ian Hamilton, 1965-1966. (Pennsylvania State University Libraries). WorldCat record id: 52863630

Brigid Brophy, 1929-1995, was a British novelist, essayist, critic, biographer, and dramatist.

From the guide to the Brophy mss., 1962-1979, (Lilly Library (Indiana University, Bloomington))

"A lifelong crusader for multitudinous causes ranging from writers' rights and animal rights to sexual freedom, women's liberation, and vegetarianism, Brophy produced a varied and extensive body of work. Her best-known novels are The King of a Rainy Country (1956), The Finishing Touch (1963), and In Transit (1969). Admittedly influenced by Sigmund Freud's theories, Ronald Firbank's literary style, and G.B. Shaw's aesthetics, Brophy's writings express unconventional and controversial opinions about modern relations, religious education in schools, sexual psychology, pornography, and gender issues." (Excerpt from Contemporary Literary Criticism, Vol. 105, 1998)
