Beskrivelse (?), Clementine Churchill and Niels Bohr in Copenhagen.
Bemærkning Clementine Ogilvy Spencer Churchill, (née Hozier), (1885–1977), the wife of Sir Winston Churchill. She married Churchill in 1908. She was a great supporter of her husband with a shrewd political intelligence. She had a more equable nature that ensured that she moderated the depth of his depressions, and her good judgement helped to ward off political mistakes.
An advocate of votes for women, Clementine Churchill held feminist views that were ‘advanced’ for her day. An enthusiastic Liberal at a time of major Liberal reforming achievement, she at once threw herself enthusiastically into her husband's political life, When Churchill rejoined the Conservatives in 1924 after gradually drifting away from the Liberals, Clementine moved with him, but though she continued to work loyally for him in his constituency, she remained at heart a Liberal, her views sometimes robustly independent from his.
