Catherine Carswell (1879-1946) was a Scottish author, biographer and journalist. As a journalist she was once famously fired from the Glasgow Herald for writing a review of D. H. Lawrence's The Rainbow. Her subsequent correspondence with the author encouraged her to write her first novel Open the Door! (1920), which won the Melrose Prize. Carswell studied at the Conservatory of Music in Frankfurt and at Glasgow University, but as women were not formally admitted to universities at this time, she was not awarded a degree.
