  From 1800-1959, the leading Tory hostesses, the Marchionesses of Londonderry were patrons and confidantes to key political figures such as Disraeli, Bonar Law, and others. This book offers an examination of these powerful political hostesses of the Anglo-Irish establishment and sheds light on the workings of 19th and 20th-century politics.
