Mary-Kay Wilmers co-founded the London Review of Books in 1979 and has been its sole editor since 1992. Her editorial career began at Faber and Faber during T. S. Eliot's time, followed by the Listener and the Times Literary Supplement. As John Lanchester notes, she has spent over fifty years encouraging reluctant writers. In addition to editing, Wilmers is an accomplished writer. Her essays in *Human Relations and Other Difficulties*, covering topics from Jean Rhys to her own parenting experiences, are insightful and engaging. A recurring theme in her work is the dynamic between genders, exploring how men shape women's lives and offering sharp observations about the challenges of being a woman.
