Description
The lives of six remarkable women who defied convention to become the most influential hostesses of their time are revealed in this fascinating biography. Siân Evans explores the stories of Lady Astor, Mrs Greville, Lady Londonderry, Laura Corrigan and Lady Colefax, among others, who rose to prominence during the inter-war years. As the British class system began to weaken after World War I, these ambitious women seized the opportunity to take their place at the top of society. They became the epitome of elegance and refinement, entertaining royalty, millionaires, film stars, and maharajahs from the comfort of their own homes. Their influence can still be felt today. This book offers a fresh perspective on a pivotal moment in history, shedding light on the extraordinary women who helped shape London society during this period.
