Katharine Whitehorn was a star in a star-studded period for the Observer. She was read not only by women but also by men for her sanity and wisdom. One sentence of hers has remained with me for more than 50 years: “Faith is life lived on the evidence of its highest moments.”

In 1983, together with Barbara Hosking and me, following a trip to New York, Katharine Whitehorn co-founded the Links Group for Senior Women, which morphed into the UK International Women’s Forum, a hugely useful and stimulating organisation.
