Polesden Lacey volunteer Pam Burbidge releases the biography exploring the lesser-known life of Maggie Greville, a lady who truly made a difference

Maggie Greville did so much more than act out the role of an Edwardian Hostess. Maggie Greville lived in obscurity, until her father William McEwan changed everything. He was a self-made man, controller, and philanthropist, who staged the rise of Maggie A to Maggie G.

Power, money, and tutoring created the new modern emancipated woman, who bought her own house in her own name (Polesden Lacey), even though she had a husband. Find out about the real story where marriages changed the landscape.

Thrown into a world of opulently dressed aristocrats, royalty and maharajahs, politics and charity combined with money, initiated success. The Long Walk at Polesden Lacey became a secret political venue, away from prying eyes and ears. With close connections to Edward VII, George V and Queen Mary, George VI and Queen Elizabeth, and International Royalty Maggie acted as the new manipulator at court to gain international recognition.

The far-reaching effect of the procurement of money, power in its various aspects, was demonstrated so clearly by Maggie G. The lady who made a difference.
