Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much is required of a prime minister’s wife. As a hostess, sympathetic ear and adviser, she must ensure her husband never puts a foot wrong (and never do so herself). Arguably she has one of the hardest jobs in politics – without ever stepping into the House of Commons. Of the wives from the past two centuries featured in this book, nearly all have given their husbands unqualified support in political matters, two notable exceptions being Emily Palmerston and Clementine Churchill, who were always ready to dissent. And, until Audrey Callaghan and Cherie Blair, none had careers of their own. They came from a variety of backgrounds: some, such as Emily Palmerston, Caroline Lamb, Catherine Gladstone and Dorothy Macmillan, from the ruling classes. Two - Clementine Churchill and Margot Asquith - had aristocratic connections, while Lucy Baldwin’s father was a scientist, Mary Ann Disraeli’s was a junior naval officer and Margaret Lloyd George’s a Welsh hill farmer. In terms of their marriages, some were secure, some wobbly and one actually broke down. In the case of Clementine Churchill, her marriage to Winston of fifty-seven years was a particularly remarkable achievement. Mark Hichens examines these women - and one husband, Denis Thatcher - in the light of their personalities and achievements as well as the roles they have indirectly played in British history in this timely volume.

Book excerpt: Being the wife of a Canadian prime minister offers both rewards and challenges. In Prime Ministers' Wives, author Lavona Fercho presents a look at the wives and their lives as public figures. Beginning with Isabella Clark Macdonald and ending with Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, this collection of thirteen biographical sketches reveals how the role of the wife of Canadian prime ministers has developed throughout the years. Fercho depicts how each wife coped with the battles and intrusions they faced at the prime minister's residence at 24 Sussex Drive. She shares how some wives adopted a minimal public lifestyle, while the more gregarious accepted roles, of charitable chair positions, press conferences, as well as campaigns to promote their husband. Frank and revealing, Prime Ministers' Wives tells how each wife handled the extreme pressures of the position. Whether personal or public, reported experiences were of marital challenges including infidelity, parentage, alcoholism and mental illness as well as public verbal and physical assault, death threats, and unrelenting scrutiny while promoting a societal recognition of women for equal status.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing about the world she knows intimately, Susan Crosland, in her incisive and powerful new novel, exposes the effect of political power on marriage and love in today's Britain. Blanche Winslow, a Virginian, passionately loving and loyal by nature, meets and marries an idealistic young Englishman called Luke Dalton. He rises to become the British Prime Minister. Blanche, herself childless, becomes a top Fleet Street interviewer. In the love-hate relationship between politicians and the media, Blanche finds herself increasingly disillusioned by her husband's behaviour as Prime Minister. Her rebellion is encouraged by a growing friendship with Mark Fleetwood, the most articulate of Luke Dalton's press critics. Luke puts her disloyalty down to the self-destructive streak in her family. The Prime Minister and wife present a united front when dining at Buckingham Palace. But behind the scenes, conflicting loyalties, illicit love, violence and treachery are played out inside Numbers Ten and Eleven Downing Street, in the Chancellor's country house at Dorneywood, in the Foreign Secretary's private office. Back in Fleet Street, Blanche decides to break the final taboo.

Book excerpt: CHOICE OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC TITLE 2015 Do women national leaders represent a breakthrough for the women’s movement, or is women’s leadership weaker than the numbers imply?

Packed with fascinating case studies detailing the rise to power of all 73 female presidents and prime ministers from around the world, from 1960 (when the first was elected) to 2010, the motives, achievements and life stories of the female top leaders, including findings from interviews carried out by the author, provide a nuanced picture of women in power. The book will have wide international appeal to students, academics, government officials, women’s rights activists and political activists, as well as anyone interested in international affairs, politics, social issues, gender and equality.
