Rose, my inspiration
• I HAVE enjoyed Rose Hacker’s column since it started appearing.
It causes memorable discussion in our household and we have even told friends from out of the area about her.
Imagine how surprised and delighted I was, while reading the book Can Any Mother Help Me? about the Co-operative Correspondence Club, to discover it was Hacker who had been so instrumental in bringing it to the public.
I was reading the book for research purposes as I am writing a musical based on the lives of Londoners over the last century and a half. Rose’s thoughts and work have inspired me to write a new character into the show – one who has lived through the last century and seen so many changes and who is still so vibrant and engaged. And it is so lovely to know that the real Elektra is still going strong. I would like to say “thank you, Rose” for her inspiration and to wish her all the best for the future.
I look forward to reading her column for a long time to come.
