by Ralph G. Martin
A racy lady who had many lovers, including the Crown prince Edward, a Russian count and many other famous and brilliant men! The former Jennie Jerome, daughter of an American tycoon, she became the Lady Randolph Churchill and mother of Winston Churchill. She was highly intelligent and greatly furthered her husband’s political career…and later that of her famous son.
Jennie was the hands-on parent of the two and kept up a lively and brilliant correspondence with Winston while he was at school and later in the military, encouraging him to look at issues closely and give his opinion. Being close to many rich and powerful men, she was often called upon to ask favors for her son!
Jack, Jennie and Winston
