{"product_id":"gladstone-and-women-anne-isba-9781847250261","title":"Gladstone and Women","description":"\u003cbr\u003eWilliam Gladstone, 'The Grand Old Man' of nineteenth-century politics, was Prime Minister four times. Throughout his life, women,  including Queen Victoria (with whom he had a somewhat strained relationship - she famously describing him as a 'half-mad firebrand') were of great importance to him. Because he documented his reaction to people and events copiously in his diary and many letters, we know a great deal about his attitudes towards them - and their reaction to him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGladstone's most notorious interest in women,  was his mission to rescueprostitutes, which he pursued with great vigour and at enormous expense over forty years, spending many thousands of pounds in the process.. Few believed that his interest was wholly innocent, and it was said that he mainly wanted to save the younger prettier ladies of the night.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Isba\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1847250262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847250261\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.01h x 6.12w x 0.85d","brand":"Anne Isba","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47474248220927,"sku":"9781847250261","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fcb1163a-3cd5-4b52-a84d-b8b9f1b828b8.jpg?v=1762315631","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gladstone-and-women-anne-isba-9781847250261","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
