My colleague and friend Pat Pinsent, a Catholic feminist and educator, who has died aged 90, will be remembered for her integrity, kindness and sharp intelligence, as well as for her eccentricities.
Pat taught for many years (1967-98) at Roehampton Institute of Higher Education, now the University of Roehampton, south-west London, in the education and English literature departments, running a centre for young people’s reading development in the former, and acting as a mainstay of the children’s literature MA in the latter.
