Early life
Hamilton (known as Molly) was the daughter of Robert Hamilton, Professor of Logic at Glasgow University.
Education
She was educated at Glasgow Girls' High School, and later took First Class Honours at Newnham College Cambridge.
Journalism
In 1916 Hamilton caused some controversy by writing an anti-war novel, Dead Yesterday.
In the early 1920s, she was the deputy editor of the New Leader. She also held a position on the Balfour Committee on Industry and Trade.
Politics
Molly Hamilton was an intimate of the Labour leader and Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald after the death of his wife. She produced impressions of MacDonald in 1923 and 1925 as 'Iconoclast', which were later updated and published together in 1929 under her own name. She did not follow him out of the Labour Party in 1931.
In 1937 she was elected an alderman on the London County Council.
Later career
From 1940, Hamilton worked for the US branch of the Ministry of Information. She was made a CBE in 1949.
Hamilton wrote a biography of Arthur Henderson, and profiles of Mary Macarthur and Margaret Bondfield.
