In 1919 Nancy Astor became the first woman to take a seat in Parliament. She was not what had been expected. Far from a virago who had suffered for the cause of female suffrage she was already near the centre of the ruling society that had for so long resisted the political upheavals of the early twentieth century having married into the family of one of the richest men in the world. She was not even British. She would prove to be a trailblazer & beacon for the generations of women who would follow her into Parliament. This new biography charts Nancy Astor's incredible story from penury in the American South to a lifestyle of the most immense riches from the luxury of Edwardian England through the ' Jazz Age' & on towards the Second World War: a world of great country estates lavish town houses & the most sumptuous entertainments peopled by the most famous & powerful names of the age. But hers was not only the life of power glamour & easy charm: it was also defined by principles & bravery by war & sacrifice by love & bitter disputes. With glorious page-turning brio Adrian Fort has brought to life this restless controversial American dynamo an unforgettable woman who left a deep & lasting imprint on the political life of our nation. ...
