Queen Victoria Rocks!!!

Most of Queen Victoria's deeds were good...and she did learn from some of her mistakes. She & husband (the Prince Consort) were both raised in homes missing a parent, but their large family was an inspiration. Loved the bio by Elisabeth Longford, and the film "The Young Victoria". One strong, capable woman! (PS she publicly supported Florence Nightingale, another neglected strong, good woman.)
