Naomi Mitchison was a novelist, activist, and one of the more fascinating literary voices of the twentieth century. In You May Well Ask, she reflects on the years between 1920 and 1940 — a time filled with personal discovery, political change, and creative work.

This memoir offers a candid look at Mitchison’s life during those years, from family life and relationships to her involvement in social and political movements. Her writing is intelligent, reflective, and often quietly witty, giving readers a genuine sense of the world she moved through and the people she encountered along the way.
