In December 1919 Nancy Astor became the first woman MP to take her seat at Westminster. 'Nobody wanted me there,' she said. 'It was like going into a man's club.'
In this film biography, John Grigg tells the story of Nancy's American upbringing, her marriage to a millionaire, her politics and of her reputation as one of the great characters of her time. JOYCE GRENFELL returns to Cliveden, the Astors' country house, and, with the help of the Astors' own home movies, recalls her 'Aunt Nancy' in her heyday as political hostess there.
