About this person
Aileen Palmer was a British Australian poet and diarist. She worked as an interpreter during the Spanish Civil War for a mobile hospital and later in an ambulance unit in London during The Blitz. With a history of being institutionalised for various mental breakdowns, her diaries chart her exploration of her own sexuality and mental illness. Among her papers are many unpublished novels and an autobiographical compilation, which form a notable collection for scholars to evaluate both gender identities and mental health in her era.
