Description
Churchill required a vast team of women to manage his demanding schedule. As a parliamentarian, cabinet minister, war leader, writer and painter, he worked at an incredible pace, imposing unusual schedules on those around him. Despite the often unreasonable demands, Churchill inspired enduring loyalty and affection amongst his female staff. Drawing from oral testimonies held in the Churchill Archive in Cambridge, Cita Stelzer brings to life the experiences of a legion of women who worked for and with Churchill. Their stories, previously unpublished in journals and letters, offer a unique insight into the life of one of the twentieth century's iconic statesmen. This book recaptures their memories of working for and with Churchill, from famous encounters to travels abroad, and the challenges of taking dictation in non-air-conditioned planes.
