Pat Brickhill was born into a family of trade unionists during a dreadful storm - hence her middle name Nomvula. Her lifelong desire to write was buried beneath the demands of political activism and motherhood for many years but they say all good things come to those who wait - and like the people of Zimbabwe Pat is waiting. Inspired in her writings by the courage and feistiness of the women of Zimbabwe, Pat longs to be able to write morning, noon and night, but she works as a civil servant to keep the wolf from the door. Pat was published in Writing Still (2003), Writing Now (2005) and Women Writing Zimbabwe (2008) and, in translation, in Mazambuko (2011).
