Meg Elizabeth Atkins (died 2013) was a novelist and an active member of the North Western Homosexual Law Reform Committee (NWHLRC). She is perhaps best known for her novels Palimpsest and Cruel as the Grave.[1]
Meg Atkins worked as a stable hand before moving to Manchester where she worked as a secretary, flitting between jobs to support her writing. Although heterosexual and married, she got involved in the Committee because her best friend was a gay man:
- "It seemed to me a total injustice that simply because of your sexual inclinations you should be criminalised."[2]
