Margot Bennett was a Scottish born author and a screenwriter. She is known for writing crime, mystery, and thriller novels.

Margot was born on January 19, 1912, in Lenzie, Dunbartonshire, Scotland. She attended school in Scotland as well as Australia.

Before she ever was a fiction writer, Margot was employed as an advertising copywriter in London and Sydney. When the Spanish Civil War arrived, she kept busy as a nurse and also functioned as a translator. She was a broadcaster for the Spanish Medical Aid. She was injured during the course of her nursework during the war when the truck she was in turned over and she was shot in both of her legs.

She wrote for the magazine Lilliput for several years between the course of 1943 and 1950. She is best known for writing her crime fiction during the forties and the fifties. She also wrote thrillers and contemporary literature and a science guide in 1964 called The Intelligent Woman’s Guide to Atomic Radiation.

She also ventured into science fiction, seen in her novel The Long Way Back. This book featured the storyline of Africa colonizing Britain after a nuclear Holocaust. Her science fiction novel The Man Who Didn’t Fly did well among readers and got her nominated for a Gold Dagger Award.

She was reviewed in The New York Times in 1962, where Anthony Boucher named her as one of the top Englishwomen in the suspense field, also noting authors Joan Fleming, Nina Bawden, and Charity Blackstock in that category.

On top of being an author, Margot also wrote scripts for TV. She contributed to Maigret, Quick Before They Catch Us, Emergency-Ward 10, and Market in Honey Lane. She was also the second ever female author to be connected to the show Doctor Who in 1964, although the story that she was going to contribute never came to fruition.

Margot Bennett also wrote the screenplays for her adapted books, memorably The Widow of Bath.

She met her husband during the Spanish Civil War. This was when she met Richard Lawrence Bennett for the first time, an English writer and journalist. He had served the Spanish Republican Army and wrote broadcasts for Radio Catalan during the conflict. The two were married in Barcelona by a Republican soldier.

The couple had four children together, three sons and a daughter. One son would pass away from fighting muscular dystrophy.

The author supported left-wing politics and in particular the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. Later she lived in London. Margot passed away on December 6. 1980.
