Her first husband, Norbert Franklin, died when she was just 25, and after a breakdown and suicide attempt, she found happiness in her early 40s in the arms of a married businessman, Alfred Womersley. That relationship lasted more than 30 years, though A never did leave his wife. Throughout World War II, Olga worked as a clerk but yearned to be a journalist. In 1944, after a spell as a typist at Reuters, Olga got her break on the Newcastle Evening Chronicle, which was owned by newspaper magnate Viscount Kemsley. From there she moved on to the Daily Sketch and then the Daily Mail. This is her autobiography. RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions.
