That Woman
Born in 1896 in Baltimore, Bessiewallis Warfield endured an impoverished childhood which inflamed a burning desire to rise above her circumstances. Neither beautiful nor brilliant, she nevertheless became one of the most talked about women of her generation, and inspired such deep love in Edward VIII that even giving up a throne and an empire for her was not enough. Wallis lived by her wits, while both her apparent and alleged moral transgressions added to her aura and dazzle. Accused of Fascist sympathies, having Nazi lovers and learning bizarre sexual techniques in China, she was the subject of widespread gossip and fascination. This biography sheds new light on the character and motivations of this powerful, charismatic and complex woman.
