THE MYSTERY OF PRINCESS LOUISE: QUEEN VICTORIA’S FEISTY REBELLIOUS DAUGHTER
Louise was a sculptor and painter, she kicked against her mother’s controlling nature and remained fiercely loyal to her brothers-especially the sickly Leopold and the much-maligned Bertie. She sought out other unconventional women, including Josephine Butler and George Eliot, and campaigned for education and health reform and for the rights of women. She battled with her indomitable mother for permission to practice the “masculine” art of sculpture and go to art college-and in doing so became the first British princess to attend a public school.
