  • Nesta Obermer nata Ella Ernestine Sawyer (Cromer, 14 settembre 1893 – Paudex, 3 ottobre 1984) è stata una filantropa, pittrice e drammaturga britannica. Ha iniziato a scrivere da bambina, a causa di una malattia che la costrinse a restare in isolamento per diverso tempo. Viaggiando spesso, in quanto figlia di un diplomatico, iniziò a scrivere articoli come corrispondente di guerra durante la prima guerra mondiale. Nel 1925 sposa un ricco drammaturgo; incoraggiata dal marito, Obermer scrive tre commedie che furono rappresentate negli anni '30 nei teatri londinesi e diventa una delle voci della BBC Radio fino agli anni '40.
