Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
Clementine was born in the 1880s.
In 1908, Clementine married Winston. She was "strong-minded enough to manage him", and intelligent enough not to show it.
The mere sight of her made Winston feel better, and she was the only person who dared to disturb him whenever he was in a gruff mood. (PROSE: Players [+]Loading...["Players (novel)"])
In 1931, while Winston was working on his book, Clementine came to ask if he would join her for dinner and he curtly refused, which he later regretted. (PROSE: The Lost Diaries of Winston Spencer Churchill [+]Loading...["The Lost Diaries of Winston Spencer Churchill (short story)"])
