We all know that the first female MP to sit in the House of Commons in the UK was Lady Astor, but was this Lady Astor, the widow of John Jacob Astor, who died in the sinking of the Titanic?
No . . . She was the wife of Waldorf Astor . . .
See her biograhpy here.
Great story, she once said to Winston Churchill:
Winston, if I were your wife, I'd put poison in your coffee.
Nancy, if I were your husband, I'd drink it.
Thats quite a picture, Set. Today's pin-up girls kinda pale in comparison ...
