The Churchill Society of New Orleans Inaugural Annual Orlin Russel Corey Memorial Lecture

Sonia Purnell presents Clementine: The Life of Mrs. Winston Churchill


By Winston Churchill's own admission, victory in World War II would have been "impossible without her." Until now, however, the only existing biography of Churchill's wife, Clementine, was written by her daughter. Sonia Purnell finally gives Clementine her due with a deeply researched account that tells her life story, revealing how she was instrumental in softening FDR's initial dislike of her husband and paving the way for Britain's close relationship with America. It also provides a surprising account of her relationship with Eleanor Roosevelt and their differing approaches to the war effort.

Join us for the Inaugural Annual Orlin Russel Corey Memorial Lecture, in partnership with The Churchill Society of New Orleans, focusing on Clementine's legacy.

This program is free and open to the public, but seating is limited. Ensure your spot by RSVPing online or over the phone at 504-528-1944 x 412.
