Nancy Astor, the American-born wife of Waldorf Astor, 2nd Viscount Astor. She was renowned for her wit as well as her beauty (her sister was married to Charles Dana Gibson and was the inspiration for the Gibson Girl, so it ran in the family). She was also the first woman to sit as an MP in the British House of Commons. She appears here wearing her famous tiara.
