Barbara Taylor Bradford, a renowned British journalist passed away at 91 on 24^th November, 2024, as reported by a spokesperson. Receiving the news, it has been confirmed that she died at her home in New York.

Counting on her achievements throughout her life, Barbara Taylor became a publishing sensation during her 40s after the publishing of her book ‘A Woman of Substance’ in her 40s. Besides, she has also written more than dozens of novels that was sold 10 million of copies.

In addition, she was born in Armley in the year 1933. In 1979, Barbara Taylor published her most selling book, becoming one of the most popular and wealthiest writers of the world, having an estimated net worth of more than $200 million.

“Because Bradford’s heroines resemble their author in their fabulous wealth and determination — and because the author has a passing resemblance to Margaret Thatcher in the matters of hair-span and go-getter ideology — it seems to have got around that Bradford is a feminist. Well, perhaps, in the same way that Imelda Marcos is a feminist but hers is still a world in which a woman is nothing without a husband,” Sophie Harrison stated in a New York Times review of Piers Dudgeon’s biography.
