She was primarily an editor, but also conducted interviews with people of unusual sexual tastes. "Those were good training for what I've done subsequently, going right into it and saying, But why do you think you are transsexual?'

After seven years with Penthouse, Barber left to have children. She missed journalism and joined the Sunday Express in the 1980s, then the Independent On Sunday when it launched in 1990. From there she spent time at the Sunday Times and The Daily Telegraph before signing with The Observer, where she has become a star in her own right.
