Working with Winston

the unsung women behind Britain's greatest statesman

Working with Winston

the unsung women behind Britain's greatest statesman
Cita Stelzer ; [foreword by Randolph Churchill]
Book - 2019

Much has been written about Winston Churchill, and of the important world leaders, politicians, high-ranking military personnel with whom he interacted. But Churchill also required a vast staff to maintain the intense pace at which he worked. When Churchill strode the world stage, the secretarial and support staff positions were inevitably filled by women. Though extraordinarily talented and valuable to Churchill and his work, these women remain unheralded. And yet these women were devoted to him, though there were times in his political career in which he was decidedly unpopular. Many reflect upon their years working for him as the best years of their lives.
