Anna Wickham's life is characterized by the turbulent, burgeoning
feminism of the early 20th century. A woman whose incisive mind and
inquisitive nature sent her husband into jealous rages, she was
forcibly committed to a mental hospital at the age of 30. Upon her
release, she began a life-long quest for happiness, exhibited first
and foremost through her poetry. Anna Wickham became a widely
acclaimed writer whose life, at times immersed in scandal, is a
story of success and sadness. Eventually leaving her husband and
four sons to live in Paris's left bank, she became a confidante of
D.H. Lawrence, the long-time lover of millionairess Natalie
Clifford Barney, and a strong-willed literary icon, rumored to have
once thrown Dylan Thomas into a snowstorm. Despite her fame and
achievement, Wickham's struggles with depression and anxiety would
eventually lead to her untimely death.
