DL/A-Z//ROLL/001 [from Kath Rollisson to Doris Lessing, undated]

Letter, 1 leaf, typed.
Encloses a copy of a letter to the editor that she wrote regarding Barbara Ellen's article on Doris Lessing. Writes that she wanted Lessing to read it in case it is not published, and that Lessing has "a stunning, vibrant personality". The letter calls Ellen's article a "facile perspective" on Lessing, and argues that Ellen attempts to portray Lessing as a "dotty old lady". Discusses Lessing's presence in the media and how she "refuses to conform".
