'Men's lives are a perpetual conflict. The life that I have mapped
out will be so especially - as lawyer and politician. Woman's
function is to pour oil on the wounds - to heal the bruises of
spirit...and to stimulate to renewed exertion.' Lloyd George was a
man who loved women and the tale of his intertwined relationships
contains many mysteries and a few unsolved intrigues. He was
involved in a divorce case early in his career, fought two libel
cases over his private life and had persuaded the prettiest girl in
Criccieth to be his wife. Lloyd George's life was indeed a
'perpetual conflict'. He was a habitual womaniser and, despite his
early, enduring attachment to Margaret Owen, marriage did not curb
his behaviour. There were many private scandals in a life devoted
to public duty. Ffion Hague illuminates his complex attitude to
women. Her own interest stems from the many parallels in her own
life.
