【 摘 要 】

Following the First World War, Britain experienced drastic social and political change. In a period of upheaval, aristocratic women strove to balance social and political changes with centuries of aristocratic tradition. The Mitford sisters provide a unique cross section of female aristocratic life during this changing time and illustrate a variety of female reactions to this balancing act through their varied political beliefs.
