Lady Byron was adored by the younger abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe and by many notable friends. Yet her complex relationships with her family, including the sister Byron loved, runs like a live wire through this skillfully told and groundbreaking biography of a remarkable woman who made a life for herself and became a leading light in her century"--Provided by publisher. 520 $a Reveals the untold story and complex life of Lady Byron, who as a single mother and progressive force rebelled against the snobbery of her class to found the first co-operative school in England and support her daughters educational endeavors. 941 $a 5 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019014401.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200528061233.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204081733.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110063650.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20161006024029.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E53F5508A94211E5816026CCDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
