Margot Asquith, Countess of Oxford and Asquith, born Emma Alice Margaret Tennant (1864-1945) was an Anglo-Scottish socialite, author and wit. She married Herbert Henry Asquith, who would become Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (1908-1916). During World War I, Asquith's outspokenness led to a public outcry. For example, she visited a German prisoner of war camp and she accused her shell-shocked stepson Herbert of being drunk. The negative public and media response may well have contributed to the political downfall of her husband. After her husband's death, she was left in near penury and, though she made some money as a writer of numerous autobiographies, her financial position caused her constant concern. Her writing style was not always critically accepted-the most famous review of Asquith's work came from New York wit Dorothy Parker, who wrote, "The affair between Margot Asquith and Margot Asquith will live as one of the prettiest love stories in all literature.
