[From flaps] Her mother, that was the gist of it, had not lived. Here, in this great world of speed and steel and electricity, this world of banks and syndicates and organised labour, Mrs Heyham had kept her house and nursed her babies as she might have done a hundred, five hundred, years ago. She used the clothes and the food and the furniture of the twentieth century because they were there, at her hand. She knew nothing of how they were made or of what brought them to her . . . Rosemary had thought of a solution and a very good solution too, suitable, revolutionary and high-minded . . . here would be her mother's chance. She could leave her artificial, opulent home and go out into the world, the man's world that she had never seen. She could touch it, study it, find out her own place and her own value from it. She could live again, not only with her charm and her sympathy and her admirable legitimate affections but with her mind, with her soul. Amber Reeves, the daughter of William and Maud Pember Reeves, was born in 1887 in New Zealand. When her father was appointed Agent-General in 1896 her parents moved to England. Amber went to Kensington High School. Her mother was active in the Fabian Society and in 1912 wrote "Round About a Pound a week" (now Persephone Book No. 79). In 1905 Amber, 'a clear and vigorous thinker', went up to Newnham College, Cambridge to read philosophy. After her affair with HG Wells led to pregnancy, in 1909 she married a young lawyer, Rivers Blanco White. Two more children were born in 1912 and 1914. She published three novels, including "A Lady and her Husband" (1914), worked at the Admiralty, and ran the Women's Wages Department at the Ministry of Munitions; later she was briefly a civil servant, wrote a fourth novel, stood for Parliament, taught at Morley College for 37 years and published books on ethics and economics. She died in 1981.
