An intriguing account of a woman at the heart of world politics, half a century before women had the vote
The world was at a point of transition between the Victorian age and the modern world of the twentieth century. The Ottoman Empire was in decline, the European states were jostling for power in Africa, industrialization and the coming of the railway age had transformed society and the working man and woman were starting to fight for their right to education, suffrage and a better way of life.
Mary Gladstone was daughter and private secretary to William Gladstone, the eminent Liberal Prime Minister of the later Victorian age. Throughout the 1880s and 1890s she was at the heart of British politics, campaigning for her father, dealing with official correspondence and controlling access to the Prime Minister as well as disseminating and controlling information from the PM both to the press and to his ministers.
This biography of Mary focuses on the period during which she was working with her father up to his death in 1898. It covers a crucial period in British history including Gladstone's attempts to give home rule to Ireland, brinkmanship in the Balkans, the height of the Empire and domestic reform such as universal male suffrage and elementary education for all.
Sheila Gooddie is now a full time writer and author of two previous books.
* An insight into the workings of politics in the final years of the Victorian era and at the height of the days of Empire
* Adds a different perspective on William Gladstone, a giant of the Victorian age
* Based on private letters as well as official documentation
Nearly half a century before women in Britain had the vote Mary Gladstone, daughter of the eminent Liberal Prime Minister, William Gladstone, had her own office in Downing Street. As private secretary to her father she was at the heart of world affairs. She also led the life of a privileged young woman of the Victorian era: one that revolved around ball gowns and dance cards, amours and house parties. A friend of Burne Jones and Ruskin, loved by Tennyson's elder son and no stranger to Queen Victoria or the royal household, she could take her pick of Victorian society; yet she spent many years working for her father and chose to marry a clergyman of modest means.
