In Kate Morton's novel, The House at Riverton, the opinion of Lady Clementine, c. 1914, was,
"Aside from her marriage, her obituary is the only time a lady's name should appear in the newspaper...."
I think most of my ancestors must have subscribed to this opinion. And plenty didn't have their names in the newspapers when they married. How about yours?

I Take It She Would Not Have Approved Of The Suffragettes!
ReplyDeleteSuffragettes were briefly mentioned in the book by the younger daughters, but I think you're right that Lady Clementine would not have approved! Thanks for your visit and comment, Tony.
