A Nobel Laureate Passes On

[Lip Service]

Novelist and essayist Doris Lessing died Sunday at the age of 94.

Lessing won the Nobel Prize in 2007.

She lived in England most of her life, but she grew up in southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe.

Lessing often addressed racism and colonialism in her writing, including in a series of novels about a fictional character named Martha Quest. She was best known for her 1962 book "The Golden Notebook", which was regarded as among the most important feminist novels of its time.

Here is her obituary in the New York Times
