Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A Working Woman: The Remarkable Life of Ray Stracheyis a traditional biography of a very untraditional woman. Tug-of-love child, Ward in Chancery, pamperedschoolgirl, pioneer car driver, would-be electrical engineer, triumphant suffragist, political lobbyist, historian, biographer, novelist, journalist, broadcaster, well-knownpublic figure, enthusiastic bricklayer, devoted mother, despairing stepmother, neglected wife: Ray Strachey was all of these and more.

Interweaving her public roles with her challenging private life on the fringes of the Bloomsbury set, it features a host of well-known personalities, andintroduces a new generation of readers to a fascinating though neglected fighter for women's rights. …
