| | Novels - Fay Weldon |
 | | In her fiction, Weldon typically portrays contemporary women who find themselves trapped in oppressive situations caused by the patriarchy structure of Western, in particular British, society. |
 | | Weldon was born Franklin Birkinshaw in Alvechurch, Worcestershire, England to a literary family, with both her maternal grandfather, Edgar Jepson (1863-1938), and her own mother Margaret writing novels (the latter under the nom de plume Pearl Bellairs, after a character from Aldous Huxleys 1922 in literature novel Crome Yellow). |
 | | Weldon spent the first years of her life in Auckland, New Zealand, where her father worked as a doctor, but at the age of 14, after her parents divorce, moved to England with her mother and her sister Jane, never to see her father again. |
