She | Questionnaire: Marjorie Wallace
November 2006 / She
Originally an investigative journalist at The Sunday Times, Marjorie Wallace's life changed after her articles on mental health prompted a huge postbag of people desperate for help. She founded, and continues to run, the SANE mental-health charity; she is also an award-winning writer and broadcaster and an honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists.
If you didn't do this job what would you be doing? Writing poetry. I have written poetry since I was a child, but to do so needs freedom of mind; difficult to find when responding to media demands for SANE every day!
