Christine Hamilton knows a Battleaxe when she sees one
But those expecting the sour stereotype – erascible, granite-featured, humourless harridans – are in for a sparkling surprise. This bevy of British Battleaxes brims with bonhomie and wit.
From Queen Boadicea to Queen Victoria (who was amused from time to time); from Nancy Astor (‘Of course I married beneath me; all women do’) to Dame Irene Ward (who told Hitler ‘What absolute bosh you are talking!’), to Margaret Thatcher; from Barbara Cartland (‘A man should not be a virgin on his wedding night. You want one person who knows what he is doing’) to Edwina Curry (I’m as tough inside as I am on the outside), and Joan Collins; this highly entertaining, star-studded book celebrates that special something which sets certain formidable women apart.
