"Oh dear," said Evelyn Waugh of his world friends, "these great ladies." In such a booklet of pen portraits the listener is created to obscure females who were world celebrities in their day. From the Churchills to the Mitfords, English and Western Royals, to international playboys and film celebrities, these ladies realized everyone. And everyone realized them, for better or worse. Margaret, Duchess of Argyll: Well-known for her naughty polaroids, and whose divorce from her Duke noticed 88 men called as her enthusiasts. Mariga Guinness: A bewitching German princess with a harrowing youth, who fought to protect Irish complexes and became an icon along the way. Sylvia Ashley: A girl from the wrong area of the paths who wedded two lords, two Hollywood celebrities, and a Russian prince. Joan Wyndham: A bohemian aristocrat who shunned a debutante presence to reside a life of debauchery in Chelsea. Enid Lindeman: An Australian wine beverage heiress who wedded four abundant and titled men, and buried all of them. Venetia Montagu: A world girl who moved at the centre of HH Asquith's wartime authorities. Irene Curzon: A "poor little abundant woman" who dared to break the guidelines. Jean Massereene: A stunning viscountess whose connection with Sir Edward Carson almost ruined her reputation. A true eccentric, fashion icon, and champion of the spiritualist activity.
