Letters From a Fainthearted Feminist is a collection of fictional letters from Martha, a stay-at-home mother of two, to Mary, her supposedly more liberated best friend.

Jill Tweedie's great passion was other people's torture: moving house. She moved to a new home almost as soon as visitors became used to the last one, loved the trashy mags published for the sake of the estate agents' adverts, patronised them all, viewing their wares, imagining a new life in the new places. In her books (collections of columns: In the Name of Love, 1979, It's Only Me, 1980, Letters from a Faint- hearted Feminist, 1982; and novels: Bliss, 1984, Final Affairs, 1986) and further journalism she stayed the course of candour and laughter, never dealing in cynicism, though much in bitter rue.
