Brooklyn-born Jennie Jerome married into the British aristocracy in
1874, after a three-day romance. She became Lady Randolph
Churchill, wife of a maverick politician and mother of the most
famous British statesman of the century. Jennie Churchill was not
merely the most talked about and controversial American woman in
London society, she was a dynamic behind-the-scenes political force
and a woman of sexual fearlessness at a time when women were not
supposed to be sexually liberated. A concert pianist, magazine
founder and editor, and playwright, she was also, above all, a
devoted mother to Winston. In American Jennie, Anne Sebba draws on
newly discovered personal correspondences and archives to examine
the unusually powerful mutual infatuation between Jennie and her
son and to relate the passionate and ultimately tragic career of
the woman whom Winston described as having the wine of life in her
veins.
