4.9/5 (31323 ratings)

Description:Biography of Lady Denman, G.B.E. (1884-1954).This is not just a public life. Gervas Huxley, long a friend of Lady Denman, gives a full and intimate picture of a warmly affectionate woman whose unpretentiousness, generosity, humour and light-hearted love of games were the delight of her family and her friends, whose courage never allowed private sorrows to affect her life and work, and whose integrity, wisdom, judgement and humility helped to make her one of the great women of our time.His book tells of her early environment in the days of late Victorian London, her youth in Edwardian society and, at the age of 26, her three years in Australia, as Her Excellency the wife of the Governor General.Motivated always by a passionate concern for justice, especially in the cause of women, Lady Denman was chosen in 1916 to be the head of the Women's Institute Movement in its infancy, and for thirty years she was the inspiring leader under whom the movement grew to be one of the most successful of Women's Organisations. In 1930 she became the courageous pioneer of Family Planning; and, in the second world war, the Director and moving spirit of the immensely successful Women's Land Army.My Huxley deals fully with these and Lady Denman's other public achievements, but above all his book is a charming and absorbing account of a warm and delightful personality.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
