Doris Lessing

Doris Lessing CH OBE (born Doris May Tayler in Kermanshah, Persia, on 22 October 1919 ) is a British writer, author of works such as the novels The Grass is Singing and The Golden Notebook .

In 2007, Lessing won the Nobel Prize in Literature. She was described by the Swedish Academy as "that epicist of the female experience, who with scepticism, fire and visionary power has subjected a divided civilisation to scrutiny". Lessing is the eleventh woman to win the prize in its 106-year history, and also the oldest person ever to win the literature award.
