Elizabeth Ann Young, Baroness Kennet (née Adams; 14 April 1923 – 30 November 2014) was a British writer, researcher, poet, artist, campaigner, analyst and questioning commentator.

She returned to England to attend Downe House, whence she won an Exhibition to Somerville College, Oxford, to read Philosophy, Politics and Economics, and was awarded a two-year War Degree.

After three years in the Women's Royal Naval Service, Young worked with her future brother-in-law Peter Scott in the earliest days of the Severn Wildlife Trust at Slimbridge.

She continued to write on a wide range of mostly political issues, especially on disarmament, arms control[6] and maritime affairs,[7] but also on other subjects such as churches in Old London Churches (John Betjeman's Book of the Year), and Italy in Northern Lazio (winner of the 1990 European Federation Tourist Press Book Prize) both co-written with Wayland Young.

[9] At roughly the same time, she was asked by Arthur Koestler and Paul Ignotus to set up the Tibor Dery Committee, to promote the release of imprisoned Hungarian writers.
