Violet wasn’t an actress. She was a political firebrand. Think of her as the original “boss lady” in a world of men in stuffy suits. She gave speeches that could make your hair stand on end.
She was best friends with Winston Churchill. Like, actual best friends. They argued, they laughed, they wrote each other long, dramatic letters. It was a whole platonic love story for the ages.
And she had a nickname: “The Princess.” Why? Because her father was H. H. Asquith, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. So yeah, she grew up in 10 Downing Street. No big deal.
