Nin self-published four books, managed to sell a few others, but for the most part she was either mocked by critics or (worse) ignored. She made their careers possible, but effectively none of them saw fit to open any doors for her. She also funded the dreams of countless other down-on-their-luck male writers the same way. Her exploits in literary erotica, as I mentioned, gave her the capacity to fund the work of the middle-aged, impoverished, would-be writer Miller he went on to be lauded for books like Tropic Of Cancer, while Nin remained relatively unknown. Still, she didn’t get the attention she deserved from mainstream readers and press until much, much later. It made her a fixture on the literary scene, as did her vivacious personality and her boundless generosity. Lawrence (yes, of Lady Chatterley’s Lover fame), was published in the 1930s.
