BiographyHistory

Bethia Foott was the daughter of Australian author Ethel Anderson (q.v.) and Brigadier-General A. T. Anderson. As her parents frequently socialised with many prominent Australian artists and writers of the time, Foott's childhood provided much of the raw material she would later develop in her literary work.

In 1930, she married Colonel T. H. B. (Allan) Foott, and after his death in 1952, married second Lieutenant Colonel Albert Harrison Ogden. As well as writing books about her parents' life and developments in Australian politics, Foott also contributed to several Australian magazines, including The Bulletin and The Reader's Digest.
