Summary of Rachel Trethewey's The Churchill Sisters

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Churchill Sisters is a book that focuses on Winston Churchill's four daughters: Diana, Sarah, Marigold, and Mary. It recreates the atmosphere of what it was like to live in one of the most powerful families in England at a pivotal period in history. #2 The Churchill family is a fundamental part of the story, and their relationships with each other and their father are a central part of it. Their lives were limited by their gender. Until their war work changed Winston's attitude, he had a Victorian view of women's roles: they were expected to be dutiful wives and mothers. #3 The Churchill girls were all very different, but they all had one thing in common: they were all very resilient and courageous. Their relationships were inspiring because they were so compassionate. #4 When Winston Churchill married Clementine Hozier in 1908, it was the most important political wedding of the decade. Clementine understood what she was signing up to. She was never just some submissive wife. She had strong opinions, and she challenged her husband and his policies.
