Her writing career began in copy-writing and journalism. She became a prolific author, and also politically and socially concerned. She supported the , and her ideology in the 1930s tended to Anarcho-syndicalism rather than hardline Communism, but she was emphatically and vociferously left-wing'. She came to support Anarchism , and wrote about the American anarchist Emma Goldman , a colleague in the '' Solidaridad Internacional Antifascista '' at the time of the Spanish Civil War . She married twice: in 1919, a short-lived relationship with one daughter, and in 1938 to Reginald Reynolds , a Quaker and go-between in India between Mahatma Gandhi and the British authorities. In 1934-5 she was in an intense but problematic intellectual, emotional and physical relationship with W. B. Yeats , who was on the rebound from Margot Ruddock and about to fall for Dorothy Wellesley (a detailed account is in R. F. Foster's life of Yeats, concluding mainly that her emotional engagement was much less than his). She also had a well-publicised affair with Bertrand Russell . WORKS
