      About Kimberly Wilder

      Introduction: Why I love Georgiana, the Duchess of Devonshire

      She lived a wild life. She broke her vows. She broke the rules. She spent too much money. To the outside world, she seemed all about glamour and selfishness. Yet, she had a profound influence on the world around her. And, in the end, she left a legacy of love and connection among all the children of her household.

      I can’t help but think: What if Georgiana’s mother had steered her in a more empowered direction? What if women were allowed to inherit titles and property, so that Georgiana’s husband would have been as happy as she was with the birth of his daughters? What if, when the Whig Party realized that Georgiana was a million times better and more interested in
