Lady Gwendolen was born in 1860, the daughter of Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Salisbury, and his wife, the former Georgina Alderson.
In 1878 British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli stayed at her family home and he wrote to Queen Victoria that he had rarely met (referring to Gwendolen and her sister) "more intelligent and agreeable women."
In October 2017, author Johnny Mains revealed Lady Gwendolen as the author of the story The Closed Cabinet - a work once considered anonymous.[2] [failed verification]
