She has been a supporter of and active campaigner for the Tibetan cause for many years, and a founding member of Act for Tibet.

Her list of 'top 10' books about the Dalai Lama and Tibet appeared in the Guardian.

Famous quotes containing the word tibet:
“They have their belief, these poor Tibet people, that Providence sends down always an Incarnation of Himself into every generation. At bottom some belief in a kind of pope! At bottom still better, a belief that there is a Greatest Man; that he is discoverable; that, once discovered, we ought to treat him with an obedience which knows no bounds. This is the truth of Grand Lamaism; the “discoverability” is the only error here.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
“Ever since you came back from Tibet I’ve had a feeling you were planning to divorce me and marry a laboratory.”
—John Colton (1886–1946)
