	Consuelo Vanderbilt
		The penultimate marital prize of the Victorian age, Consuelo Vanderbilt (March 2, 1877 - December 6, 1964) was the international emblem of the kind of glory that could be attained if a girl only had a mother bloodless enough to force an emotionally unwelcome but socially advantageous marriage.
		When Consuelo -- an docile teenager whose only notable characteristic at the time was abject obedience to her fearsome mother -- made plans to elope, she was locked in her room as Alva threatened to murder Rutherfurd.
		It was only when Alva Vanderbilt claimed that her health was being seriously and irretrievably undermined by Consuelo's stubbornness and appeared to be on death's door did the gullible girl acquiesce.

	DenverPost.com - Societal ties that bind
		Soon after Consuelo Vanderbilt, who married the ninth Duke of Marlborough in 1895, met her husband's imperious grandmother, the old woman told the young American bride, "Your first duty is to have a child, and it must be a son, because it would be intolerable to have that little upstart Winston become Duke."
		Consuelo did as she was told, and Winston Churchill, freed of the possibility of a dukedom, went on to a distinguished political career.
		Consuelo caved in, although guests noticed the bride was red-eyed and arrived so late for her wedding that some wondered if it had been called off.

		It was an unhappy marriage from the very start, and eventually Consuelo freed herself of it, and went on to find meaning in her life as a political activist (she supported the suffrage movement early on) and true love with a less exalted, but more simpatico companion.

		Consuelo certainly wasn't ahead of her time in feeling she was entitled to a love match, but even society love matches of that period were subject to family approval and made within a very tiny caste of the very rich and grand -- their young weren't allowed to meet anyone else.

		Her mountainous research has been rendered into an empathic portrait of daughter and mother, social philanthropist and feminist respectively, amid the social and economic flagrancies of the Gilded Age and the eroding aristocratic culture of Britain's nobility.
