This #InternationalWomensDay, we're celebrating one of Waddesdon's extraordinary women, Miss Alice de Rothschild (1847-1922).

Alice was a unique figure during her lifetime who lived independently and remained in control of her personal fortune in contrast to contemporary expectations. She built a life around collecting and gardening and came to inherit Waddesdon from her brother in 1898.

Hear Mia Jackson, Curator of Decorative Arts at Waddesdon, talk about Alice and her achievements in this short video.
