  Guardian | Lady Young of Farnworth
Baroness Young, the former Leader of the House of Lords who has died aged 75, was the only other woman ever to serve as a member of Margaret Thatcher's cabinet.
Mrs Thatcher wrote in her memoirs that Janet Young "had turned out not to have the presence to lead the Lords effectively and she was perhaps too consistent an advocate of caution on all occasions".
Baroness Young admitted to being disappointed by her demotion, but she recognised the inevitability of political life and was compensated by being made deputy foreign secretary to Sir Geoffrey Howe and a minister of state in the Foreign Office.

Lady Mary's father was instrumental in Van Dyck's success in England, as Buckingham negotiated Van Dyck's pension from James I in 1620 and effectively secured the painter's position at the Stuart court.
If Mary Villiers had been in the habit of wearing 'spots,' her choice in pseudonym could be easily explained; but, to date, I have not found anything in contemporary sources to support this.
The second edition of 1682 may have been initiated by the author's brother, as Mary Villiers would never have countenanced such a poem as "The Green-Sickness Cure," in view of her discomfort with explicit sexual material; her poem, "Maidenhead," e.g., is the only unfinished verse in her canon because she cannot sustain a libertine persona.

Now based in New York, these young guys in matching clothes are basically a pop/R&B group, with slick lead vocals, backing harmonies, and rap interludes largely in French Creole.

British Women Poets of the Romantic Era: An Anthology The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1997, 768 pp., ISBN 0-8018-5430-X, $60.00 Description: Many readers still associate the Romantic era with six major poets: Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron, John Keats and William Blake.
But recently, critics have challenged this all-male canon, pointing out that during the Romantic period women such as Joanna Baillie, Anna Letitia Barbauld, Felicia Hemans, Letitia Elizabeth Landon, Mary Robinson, Anna Seward, Charlotte Smith, and Mary Tighe were among the most highly respected and widely read practitioners of the art of poetry.
Working-class poets, such as Christian Milne and Isabel Pagan, take their place among aristocrats, such as Lady Byron and Carolina, Baroness Nairne.
