Elizabethan Business Woman by carole_sandford

Elizabethan Business Woman

Otherwise known as Bess of Hardwick. A poster on the wall in the Hall. She outlived four husbands & become richer with each marriage, even bagging herself the title, Countess of Shrewsbury & became the second wealthiest female in the land, with only Queen Elizabeth I being richer! She also lived to be in her eighties, most unusual for women of that time!
Ha ! a woman on a mission , so to speak !!! What attracted the men I wonder !!

Oh my! Wonderful tidbits of history about this amazing woman. She looks austere but there’s a hint of a smile on her face.

Clever girl.

Made me think of Zsa Zsa Gabor who apparently once said 'I am an excellent housekeeper, every time I get divorced I keep the house'

@onewing that fits perfectly I would say!
@beryl certainly not her beauty!
