From Empress Josephine to Wallis Simpson, these divorcees left an indelible mark on history. The enchanting illustration of Empress Josephine from "Little Journeys to the Homes" transports us back to a time when divorce was considered scandalous. Despite her tumultuous marriage with Napoleon Bonaparte, Josephine's grace and elegance remained unrivaled. A page from The Tatler reporting on the marriage of Mrs Stirling reminds us that divorce was not limited to royalty alone. Ordinary women like Lady Anne Bentinck also faced the challenges of separation in a society that often frowned upon such decisions. Ann Eliza Young's lecture poster for "My Life in Bondage" sheds light on the struggles faced by women trapped in unhappy marriages during earlier times. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in empowering those seeking liberation from oppressive unions. The rare King Edward VIII pillar box symbolizes both love and sacrifice. Edward's abdication crisis due to his desire to marry Wallis Simpson showcases their enduring bond amidst public scrutiny and disapproval. As we delve into Electra Waggoner Wharton's story, wooed, won, and wed expressively; it becomes evident that even beauty could not shield one from heartache or marital discord. Yet, she emerged stronger than ever before. Wallis Simpson herself emerges as an enigmatic figure whose controversial relationship with Edward VIII shook the foundations of British monarchy. Her audacity challenged traditional notions about love and loyalty while redefining what it meant to be a divorced woman in high society. Captured at Ascot Races alongside Wallis Simpson in 1935, Prince Edward VIII exudes undeniable affection towards his future wife despite knowing the consequences of their love. Their union would forever alter the course of history.
