Winston Churchill put this question to his mother Jennie1 in a postscript to a letter he wrote her in 1901. Twenty-five-years old, he had just finished reading An English Woman’s Love Letters, in which the young heroine’s mother stifles her daughter’s first love affair.2At the time, Winston and Pamela Plowden had just broken off their relationship....
Winston himself may be responsible, because he wrote in his autobiography, My Early Life, that he loved his mother “dearly but at a distance.”3 His verdict is too readily adopted by many Churchill historians. Closer reading of My Early Life reveals that the “distance” did not last beyond his father’s death in January 1895. Thereafter, Winston write...
Wealthier English parents delegated offspring training to a “nanny” who administered in a nursery, usually on the top floor of the house. From here the children descended once a day to meet their parents. For sons, there followed a secondary phase of training when they were despatched at the age of eight to a “preparatory” school. There they would ...
We know little about how Jennie and Everest combined their care of Winston but surviving evidence suggests that mother and nanny may have formed a rare partnership. Everest stayed with the Churchill family for seventeen years, longer than normal for nannies. A surviving diary entry by Jennie (written in 1882 when Winston was seven) records her read...
As Winston entered his teenage years, Lord Randolph became a shadow of his former self, often absent on long trips abroad, just when his son needed a strong father figure. Jennie was caught between the two and found Winston difficult to manage on her own. She left much of the task to his school and his nanny, while she carved out her own distinctiv...
When Lord Randolph died three months later, the new closeness between mother and son entrenched itself. It could not have done so unless Jennie had laid strong foundations of maternal love before Winston’s school years. The relationship between mother and son was at its closest during the five years between 1895-1900. It is best seen through the we...
It was Jennie who arranged with the owner of the Daily Telegraph for Winston to write despatches about the fighting for the newspaper. She also found a literary agent to sell Winston’s first book about the campaign to a publisher. It was she again who acted as the publicist for The Story of the Malakand Field Forcewith her many friends in the press...
The relationship between mother and son changed in 1900 when she finally caved in to repeated marriage proposals from George Cornwallis-West, a young army officer who was barely older than Winston. “I understand you as no other woman will,” she had written to Winston, with some justification, while agonising over whether to take the step.11 At twen...
Winston still asked his mother to help in practical matters. She helped to furnish his rooms and find a secretary. She helped him to campaign at elections while he remained unmarried. But he saw less of her, and no longer sought her approval for the bigger decisions (such as switching from the Tories to the Liberal Party or marrying). “No my dear, ...
The outbreak of war across Europe provoked a final flurry of intimacy between Jennie and Winston. When the failure of the Dardanelles campaign led to his dismissal from the Admiralty in 1915, Winston left to fight in the trenches of the Western Front. Jennie’s maternal instincts reawakened. Again she wrote regularly to her son in Flanders, her lett...

Society hostess and writer American-born heiress and society figure and mother of Sir Winston Churchill.

In 1867 she and her two sisters were taken to Paris by their mother, and her education and introduction to society followed the manner of the European upper classes. In 1873 ...
