Simon and I took a trip to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh last week.
One of our favourite images was this painting of Naomi Mitchison by Wyndham Lewis.
Naomi Mitchison was a novelist, poet and passionate campaigner for social justice and women's rights. Born in Edinburgh, Mitchison's first novel was published in 1923, when she was twenty-six and she went on to write over seventy books during her lifetime.
