The Other Half is a journey of discovery. All the women in this book had, or have, famous partners but didn't, for various reasons, stay in their shadow: they stepped out and took some of the limelight themselves.
Many became even more successful than their partners and live on in our memories long after their partners have faded.
Explore these women's lives, from Mary Shelley, wife of Percy, and Queen Marie Antoinette in the eighteenth century, through to Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor, Princess Di and Princess Mary of Denmark in this century.
Read about the lives, loves and famous partners of some of the most extraordinary women who have taken centre stage
