- Description
- For their wit, intelligence, good looks, and politics, the aristocratic Mitford sisters were the toast of the mid-twentieth century. They were prodigious correspondents, particularly between each other. Mosley, daughter-in-law of Diana Mitford, has selected and excerpted from some 12,000 letters between the sisters over a period of almost 80 years. As friends and confidantes of noted figures of their time, from royals to statesmen to artists, the sisters drop prominent names offhandedly. Notable for their humor and compassion, these letters reveal Nancy's sharp tongue: Pamela's love of the land (but not of children): Diana's lifelong devotion to her fascist husband, Sir Oswald Mosley: Unity's infatuation with Hitler: and Deborah's role as peacemaker. Jessica scandalized her family by running away with her Communist cousin.

- Description
- Constancia de la Mora had been an aristocrat turned Communist, a celebrated author, and an international political figure whose acquaintances and collaborators included Stalin, Eleanor Roosevelt, Ernest Hemingway, Tina Modotti, Vittorio Vidali, and Anna Seghers. Yet instead of remaining a heroine of the Republic, Constancia de la Mora's memory somehow faded from Republican history. This book sets out to explore the life of this privileged woman who unexpectedly cast her lot in with that of the Spanish people.

On the right are Mercedes Sanz-Bachiller, who entered politics and became a powerful woman in the Francoist zone, and Priscilla Scott-Ellis, a wealthy English socialite who travelled to Spain to stay to help the fascist war effort as a nurse on the front lines.
