Download Jennie Churchill: Winston's American Mother AudioBook Free
A frank profile of the tempestuous life of the American mom of Britains most significant twentieth-century politician. Brooklyn-born Jennie Jerome married into the British isles aristocracy in 1874, following a three-day romance. She became Lady Randolph Churchill, better half of any maverick politician and mom of the most famous British isles statesman of the century. Jennie Churchill was not simply the most discussed and controversial American woman in London society, she was a energetic behind-the-scenes political drive and a woman of sexual fearlessness at a time when women weren't said to be sexually liberated. A concert pianist, mag creator and editor, and playwright, she was also, above all, a devoted mom to Winston. In American Jennie, Anne Sebba draws on newly learned personal correspondences and archives to look at the unusually powerful common infatuation between Jennie and her child and to associate the passionate and finally tragic career of the woman whom Winston referred to as having your wine of life in her veins.
