Both of her parents were British: her father, who had been crippled in World War I, was a clerk in the Imperial Bank of Persia; her mother had been a nurse. In 1925, lured by the promise of getting rich through maize farming, the family moved to the British colony in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). Like other women writers from southern African who did not graduate from high school (such as Olive Schreiner and Nadine Gordimer), Lessing made herself into a self-educated intellectual.
In 1937 she moved to Salisbury, where she worked as a telephone operator for a year. At nineteen, she married Frank Wisdom, and later had two children. A few years later, feeling trapped in a persona that she feared would destroy her, she left her family, remaining in Salisbury. Soon she was drawn to the like-minded members of the Left Book Club, a group of Communists "who read everything, and who did not think it remarkable to read." Gottfried Lessing was a central member of the group; shortly after she joined, they married and had a son.
During the postwar years, Lessing became increasingly disillusioned with the Communist movement, which she left altogether in 1954. By 1949, Lessing had moved to London with her young son. That year, she also published her first novel, The Grass Is Singing, and began her career as a professional writer.
In June 1995 she received an Honorary Degree from Harvard University. Also in 1995, she visited South Africa to see her daughter and grandchildren, and to promote her autobiography. It was her first visit since being forcibly removed in 1956 for her political views. Ironically, she is welcomed now as a writer acclaimed for the very topics for which she was banished 40 years ago.
In 2001 she was awarded the Prince of Asturias Prize in Literature, one of Spain's most important distinctions, for her brilliant literary works in defense of freedom and Third World causes. She also received the David Cohen British Literature Prize.
She was on the shortlist for the first Man Booker International Prize in 2005. In 2007 she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Reviews for "The Legend of Lilith Ratchet: American Poltergeist Unleashed"
1. John Doe - 1/5 stars -
"American Poltergeist: The Curse of Lilith Ratchet was a complete waste of time. The acting was horrendous, with stiff and robotic performances from the entire cast. The dialogue was cringe-worthy, filled with cliches and predictable lines. The storyline was weak and lacked any sort of originality, relying heavily on tired horror movie tropes. The jump scares were poorly executed and failed to create any genuine fright. Overall, I found the movie to be dull, uninteresting, and utterly forgettable. Save yourself the disappointment and skip this one."
2. Jane Smith - 2/5 stars -
"American Poltergeist: The Curse of Lilith Ratchet had potential, but ultimately fell short. The concept of a cursed doll and a haunting could have been intriguing, but the execution was lacking. The pacing was slow, and the movie took too long to build up any suspense or tension. The characters were underdeveloped, making it difficult to care about their fate. The special effects were subpar, and the scares were mostly predictable. While it had a few moments of creepiness, overall, the film failed to deliver on its promise and left me feeling disappointed."
3. Mike Johnson - 1/5 stars -
"I cannot believe I wasted my time watching American Poltergeist: The Curse of Lilith Ratchet. The storyline was confusing and poorly explained, leaving me feeling disoriented throughout the entire film. The acting was laughable, with over-the-top performances and wooden delivery. The scares were more comical than terrifying, with poorly executed jump scares and cheap visual effects. The entire movie felt like a low-budget, amateur production. I would not recommend this film to anyone who appreciates a good horror movie. Save yourself the disappointment and choose something else to watch."
4. Sarah Thompson - 2/5 stars -
"American Poltergeist: The Curse of Lilith Ratchet had potential, but it failed to deliver. The plot started off intriguingly enough, but it quickly became predictable and lacked any real surprises. The characters were poorly developed, and their motivations were unclear. The scares were mostly cheap jump scares, which became repetitive and tiresome. The pacing was uneven, making the movie feel longer than it actually was. Overall, it was a disappointing experience that could have been so much better with a stronger script and more compelling scares."
