Judith Cook (9 July 1933 – 12 May 2004) was an anti-nuclear campaigner, historical novelist, journalist and lecturer in theatre at the
University of Exeter. She wrote several mysteries based on the casebooks of Dr
Simon Forman, an
Elizabethan doctor and
astrologer.
Through the columns of The Guardian's
women's page, edited by
Mary Stott, she founded the anti-nuclear organisation Voice of Women after the
Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, at a time when the world seemed on the verge of nuclear war.
