The aristocratic progressivism and egalitarian marriage of these fervent liberals confounded both contemporaries and historians. John, as viceroy of Ireland and governor-general of Canada, was a notable ally of feminists, workers, and Irish Home Rulers. Ishbel, his viceregal companion and the long-time president of the International Council of Women, was a liberal feminist and Home Ruler whose commitments stirred up even more controversy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuperbly written and informed by decades of research, \u003cem\u003eLiberal Hearts and Coronets\u003c\/em\u003e is the first biography to treat John Campbell Gordon as seriously as his better-known wife.  Examining the Aberdeens’ remarkable careers as landlords, philanthropists, and international progressives, Veronica Strong-Boag casts the twilight of the British aristocracy in an entirely new light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"By Veronica Strong-Boag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55075354149244,"sku":"9781442616509","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9781442616509_f716e777-0545-4a45-baf0-dcffec027d95.jpg?v=1743626451","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/liberal-hearts-and-coronets-4","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
