Clementine Churchill

Clementine Ogilvy Hozier grew up in an aristocratic but financially strained household. Her mother, Lady Blanche Hozier, was a strong-willed woman, and her acknowledged father, Henry Montague Hozier, was a cavalry officer who later worked in business. The family's circumstances were unsettled, and Clementine's biological paternity was long a subject of speculation. She was educated mostly at home and at convent schools in France, which gave her fluent French and a lifelong love of reading.

She met Winston Churchill in 1908, and the two married that September at St Margaret's, Westminster. Their partnership lasted nearly 57 years. She was more than a political wife: she read and critiqued his speeches, kept a careful eye on the family's finances, and steadied him through political defeats and periods of depression. The couple had five children - Diana, Randolph, Sarah, Marigold, and Mary - though Marigold died in early childhood in 1921. During World War I, Clementine organized canteens for munitions workers.

In World War II she became a public figure in her own right, chairing the Aid to Russia Fund and supporting the YWCA and the Red Cross. She traveled with Winston to wartime meetings and visited the Soviet Union on relief business. After his death in 1965, she was created a life peer as Baroness Spencer-Churchill. She died in London in December 1977 and was buried beside her husband at Bladon.
