Nancy, Lady Astor

on BBC Radio 4 FM

The young American beauty who became the first woman to take her seat in Parliament ... A woman devoutly religious, extremely worldly, a fanatical teetotaller, contemptuous of snobs, indefatigable hostess to the eminent in politics and letters. A woman, above all, who wounded cruelly those she loved most deeply, numbering herself among her victims.
Gary Watson introduces a radio portrait written by DOROTHY BAKER and based on the recent biography by CHRISTOPHER SYKES
