Jill Craigie (born Noreen Jean Craigie; 7 March 1911[1] – 13 December 1999)[2] was a British documentary filmmaker, screenwriter and feminist. She was one of Britain's earliest female documentary makers.[3] Her early films demonstrate Craigie's interest in socialist and feminist politics, but her career as a film-maker has been "somewhat eclipsed" by her marriage to the Labour Party leader Michael Foot (1913–2010), whom she met during the making of her film The Way We Live (1946).
