Vicky, Alice, Helena, and Beatrice were historically unique sisters, created to a sovereign who ruled over 25 % of the earth's people and who gave her name to a time: Queen Victoria. Two of the princesses would themselves produce children of huge result. All five would curiously come to talk about lots of the social restrictions and familial machinations borne by 19th-century women of less-exulted class. Principally researched at the houses and palaces of its five themes in London, Scotland, Berlin, Darmstadt, and Ottawa - and entertainingly written by an experienced biographer whose last book worried Victoria's final days and nights - Victoria's Daughters directly examines a technology of royal women who were dominated by their mom, married off as much for political advantages as for love, and finally passed over entirely with the accession of these brother Bertie to the throne. Jerrold M. Packard provides valuable insights to their complex, oft-tragic lives as daughters of their own time.
