Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'My Two Countries' is a significant collection of speeches delivered by Lady Astor, the first woman to take her seat in the British House of Commons. Compiled during her 1922 tour of the United States, this work reflects the unique perspective of an American-born woman who rose to the heights of British political life.
