Mary Queen of Scots ( 429 after N Hilliard, NPG ) - Mary Stuart was born in 1542. Her father, James V, was king of Scotland, and her mother, Marie d’Guise, used to be a French princess. James V died when Mary was only one week old. At that point in her life she was declared Queen of Scotland. Before she was one year old it was arranged that she would marry Prince Edward, the six year old son of Henry VIII, king of England. Scottish Catholics did not like the idea of their queen marrying a Protestant English boy so they looked to France for help. When Mary was five years old it was obvious that she was not safe in Scotland and she was sent to France for her safety. She had French blood through her mother and spoke fluent French. Her life changed for the better, though her mother remained in Scotland. Mary became more and more French as the years went by. At the age of 15 years Mary married Francois, the French dauphin, and when her father in law died in the following year she became Queen of France and her husband became the king. However, 1560 was a hard year for Mary because first her mother and then her young husband died. She was a widow at 18 years of age. Mary’s half-brother, James Stewart, asked her to return to Scotland because the country needed a monarch badly. Although she really didn’t want to, she agreed. She felt that it was what God wanted her to do, and her mother-in-law no longer wanted her in France. Mary faced a difficult task because she was the Catholic queen of an increasingly Protestant country. Rev. John Knox, the Protestant leader, hated her because she was a woman controlling men and because she was a Catholic, and a foreign-sounding Catholic to boot. Mary also had the problem that Elizabeth I, her powerful neighbour in England, was hostile to Mary’s being in Scotland. On the other hand, Elizabeth had good reason to think that her younger and more beautiful Scottish cousin was hoping to replace her as the queen of England.<br>

Caroline Norton<br>From an engraving by F C Lewis, after the drawing by Sir Edwin Landseer, RA<br>Caroline Elizabeth Sarah Norton (nee Sheridan) (1808 - 1877), was the daughter of Thomas Sheridan, and grand-daughter of the Irish playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan. In 1827 she married the Honourable George Chapple Norton, the brother of Lord Grantley, a union which was unhappy, and ended in separation. Her first book, The Sorrows of Rosalie (1829), was well received. The Undying One (1830), a romance founded upon the legend of the Wandering Jew followed, and other novels were Stuart of Dunleath (1851), Lost and Saved (1863), and Old Sir Douglas (1867). The unhappiness of her married life led her to interest herself in the amelioration of the laws regarding the social condition and the separate property of women and the wrongs of children, and her poems, A Voice from the Factories (1836), and The Child of the Islands (1845), had as an object the furtherance of her views on these subjects. Her efforts were largely successful in bringing about the needed legislation. In 1877 Mrs. Norton married Sir W. Stirling Maxwell.<br><br>This article incorporates public domain text from: Cousin, John William (1910). A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature. London, J.M.

Josephine Baker, American-born entertainer and singer, c1932. Born in Missouri, Josephine Baker (1906-1975) began her career as a chorus line dancer in New York before moving to France where she became a star performer at the Folies Bergeres in Paris in the mid 1920s. One of the most popular entertainers in France, her status was such that during the German occupation of France the Nazis felt unable to cause her harm. This enabled Baker to assist the French Resistance by smuggling intelligence information to Portugal coded within her sheet music, for which she was awarded the Croix de Guerre after the war ended. She never attained the same popularity in the country of her birth and in 1937 became a French citizen. Despite being an expatriate she was an active supporter of the American civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s, and addressed the crowds at the March on Washington organised by Martin Luther King in 1963. She died on 12th April 1975, shortly after appearing in a revue celebrating her 50th year in show business, which was attended by a host of celebrities. 20,000 people turned out on the streets of Paris to watch her funeral procession. <br>Credit: Keystone Archives / HIP / TopFoto

Woman to sail the Atlantic alone... 11th May 1952.<br>The fantastically daring plan of 38 year old Ann Davison to be the first woman to sail the Atlantic single-handed in 'the sort of boat you could pull over your head and wear' - is the adventure story of the year. Today as she prepared to head for the high seas, messages of good will, encouragement and many warning her of the peril ahead pored in from all over the country. Many of the letters and telegrams were from other women who wish to share Ann's voyage. In slacks, jersey and duffle coat she went on a last minute shopping tour in Plymouth.'I may not see another shop until I reach Madeira,' she laughed. That will be her only call on the the 5000 mile zig zag journey from Plymouth to Antigua, en route to Florida. She bought a small packet of sea sick pills, a lipstick and a bottle of pink mimosa perfume 'to boost up my morale in mid-Atlantic'. Photo shows Ann Davison seen at Plymouth today.

Thatcher was the longest-serving British Prime Minister since Gladstone, and had the longest continuous period in office since Lord Liverpool in the early nineteenth century. She is also the only woman to have served as Prime Minister or as leader of a major political party in the UK, and, with Margaret Beckett, is one of only two women to hold any of the four great offices of state. Undoubtedly one of the most significant British politicians in recent political history, she is also one of the most divisive, being loved by her supporters and loathed by her opponents.<br>©2006 John Hedgecoe/TopFoto
