Title

"Woman Who Keeps An Empire's Confidence"

Description

In this article Rosenberg’s humble beginnings in the slums of east London was contrasted to her ascent to serving the nerve centre of ‘the greatest empire modern civilisation has ever known.’ At barely 30 years old, she had become the confidante, and ‘super-private secretary’ to the Premier. She had proven that women could keep secrets (!), enjoy dancing (remaining ‘graceful, petite, vivacious, alert and attractive’) and play the piano to the highest standard.
