Wonderful life-story and what a character. A rebel with a cause ...

As a Member of Parliament in her fifties looking backwards to the 1920s and considering the social conditions of the times and the circumstances of her own life she did not see in all honesty what else she could have done other than rebel: "... in sympathy with the spirit of those years I was possessed by a frenzy for change; and since a change, any change, could hardly be for the worse, it must inevitably be for the better."

Wonder if she was a fan of Lawrence of Arabia - the film came out in the 60's.
