Baldwin, Louisa

1845-1925

British novelist, short-story writer, and poet, sometimes identified as "Mrs. Alfred Baldwin" and as the mother of British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, who held the post 3 separate times in the 1920s and '30s. As if that weren't enough, she was also one of Rudyard Kipling's aunts.
