A Strong Woman

Carrie Kipling was the wife of famous Rudyard Kipling. She could be accused of being a strong woman, however she was just trying to get by day to day. Often times she was seen as"wearing the pants" in the family. She had far more gumption and backbone than her famous husband. I wonder how much Rudyard could have accomplished without her, as she managed everything so he could work. My only complaint about this book, was that it was just 96 pages and just did not go in depth enough to satisfy my interest. Saying she was the most hated woman of her era seems to be a bit of a stretch, in my view.
