| I have to say that I have always dismissed this jibe.If it originated from Lady Astor,it would be typical of a woman who was out of touch with the happenings of real life at peace or at war. She was known for her irrational remarks and I do not suppose not many people in military leadership took too much notice of her.Unfortunately she had the platform to air her views on anything and expected the rest to take notice of her.
Apart from being the first woman to sit in Paliament, could anybody outline anything positive that she would be remembered for.Fortunate for the conduct of operations and outcome of the war, she held no executive responsibility.
Perhaps I am being too harsh on her. |
