Fremont Public Library

Meeting Room A & B

The year is 1917 and America has just entered World War I. Step back in time and see the world through Lady Randolph Churchill’s eyes.

Discover her life before she became the mother to Winston. Hear how this independent minded New York socialite, Jennie Jerome, married into England’s high society and became a part of the inner circle of the royal family during Queen Victoria’s reign. She left her mark on British society writing plays, books, articles, political speeches for her husband, even publishing a British magazine.

Learn how she influenced Winston and watched his rise in British politics. Historical letters, books and photographs will be shared by noted performer and storyteller Lynn Rymarz.
