Hold the Front Page!
In 1953 pioneering journalist Anne Scott-James started to write a weekly column for the Sunday Express newspaper. Scott-James perfected the art of the short, sharp column - and many of the topics she covered are equally on-trend today. 'The Anne Scott-James Page' set the bar for a new way of writing.
Political opinions might be squashed between thoughts on eyebrow tweezing and a piece on swimsuit lines. She cogently expressed her views on men, children, fashion, beauty, food, interiors, travel, and anything else that took her fancy. Scott-James was a great believer in entertaining her readers, and her columns are sharp, witty, to the point, often very funny, sometimes very moving.
In Hold the Front Page a selection of the Sunday Express columns is brought together with a commentary by her daughter, writer Clare Hastings, and with photographs from the Scott-James/Hastings family albums
