Lady Dorothy Mills is mostly remembered today by highly specialized history books, covering women travelers, feminists in the 1920s, or chronicles of British social life between the wars. She usually rates a few lines, sometimes a couple paragraphs, and on rare occasions, a few pages. I link to Google Books where you can read excerpts about Lady Dorothy Mills. Pay attention to header which tells you how many quotes are in each book.
Most of these books are available at Amazon, but they are expensive. Some sound fascinating, so I wish they were more affordable for the general reader. Lady Dorothy Mills’ books might be out of print, but she made enough of an impact to become a footnote in history.
