Betty Miller (née Spiro) (1910, Cork, Ireland – 1965) was a Jewish author of both literary fiction and non-fiction. She wrote her first novel, ''The Mere Living'' (1933), whilst studying journalism at University College London. Her literary reputation was established by the publication of her biography of Robert Browning (1952), which earned her a place in the Royal Society of Literature.〔''Encyclopedia of British Women's Writing, 1900-1950'', 1st edition, Pan Macmillan, 2009. ISBN 978-0-230-22177-2〕 After the Second World War she wrote extensively for literary journals including ''Horizon'', Cornhill and ''The Twentieth Century''. Of her seven novels, two are still in print: ''Farewell, Leicester Square'' (1941), published by Persephone Books in 2000, and ''On the Side of the Angels'' (1945), published by Capuchin Classics in 2012. In 1933, she married Emanuel Miller (1892–1970), the founding father of British child psychiatry.〔 D.
