Turning the Tide by Angela V John
This rich biography tells the remarkable tale of Margaret Haig Thomas who became the Second Viscountess Rhondda. She was a Welsh suffragette, held important posts during the First World War and survived the sinking of the Lusitania. A leading British industrialist, she was also instrumental in securing a seat for women in the House of Lords. -- Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru
'Margaret, Lady Rhondda, was an improbable revolutionary.. Angela John's excellent biography is thus to be welcomed warmly.' Independent
