Mary's own story is here revealed and given value in its own right,
not merely as 'the wife of ...' or 'the mother of ...'. This
remarkable woman deserves her own place in history. Mary Clegg was
a spirited young woman from a liberal, non-conformist background in
the East Midlands, the daughter of a head teacher and pioneering
educationalist. He believed not just in the value of a broad
education, but also in the importance of a stimulating learning
environment. When Mary married one of her father's former teaching
staff, effectively relinquishing the chance of an independent
career for herself, she focused on supporting her husband's career
and nurturing her three sons. However, Mary's innate vitality could
not be constrained by 'domestic tasks' alone. As war loomed again
during the 1930s Mary's humanitarian instincts were given full rein
as she quite literally rescued and saved young lives, innocent
victims of warped political ideologies in Europe.
