Résumé
Depicts an exception among wealthy British women in the early twentieth century. Describes her knowledge of Arabic, Mesopotamian geography, and tribal politics, which made her instrumental in the emergence of Iraq as a nation. The dream of marriage and children… eluded her, but her published books and role in Middle East history are her legacy. 1996.
