As a girl, she defied her mother’s meddling and an adviser’s bullying, forging an iron will of her own. As a teenage queen, she eagerly grasped the crown and relished the freedom it brought her. At twenty years old, she fell passionately in love with Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and married him, eventually giving birth to nine children. She loved sex and delighted in power. She was outspoken with her ministers, overstepping boundaries and asserting her opinions. After the death of her adored Albert, she began a controversial, intimate relationship with her t servant John Brown. She survived eight assassination attempts over the course of her lifetime. And as science, technology and democracy were dramatically reshaping the world, Victoria was a symbol of steadfastness and security - queen of a quarter of the world’s population at the height of the British Empire’s reach. Julia Baird brings vividly to life the fascinating story of a woman who struggled with so many of the things we do today: balancing work and family, raising children, navigating marital strife, losing parents, combating anxiety and self-doubt, finding an identity, searching for meaning. _ A This sweeping, page-turning biography gives us the real woman behind the myth: a bold, glamorous, unbreakable queen - a Victoria for our times, a , Victoria who endured.
