  Best-selling novelist and tireless philanthropist, Mary Ward's furiously active public career belied an unhappy, often tragic private life. Capturing the industrious fussiness of a remarkable woman, this biography also offers perceptive insights into the restrictions placed upon women at the turn of the century.
