Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Lady Megan Arfon Lloyd George CH (22 April 1902 14 May 1966) was a British politician, the first female Member of Parliament for a Welsh constituency, and Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party. She later became a Labour MP. The youngest child of David Lloyd George and his wife, Margaret, she was born in Criccieth, Caernarfonshire, in what is now Gwynedd. After her father was raised to the Peerage as Earl Lloyd George of Dwyfor, she was known as Lady Megan Lloyd George. Like her brother, Gwilym Lloyd George, she followed her father into politics. She became the first female MP in Wales when she won Anglesey for the Liberals in 1929. She refused to support Ramsay MacDonald''s National Government in 1931 and successfully held Anglesey as an Independent Liberal until 1935. She held the seat again as a Liberal from 1935 to 1951. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s Lloyd George campaigned for a Welsh Assembly and the creation of a Secretary of State for Wales. Prominent among the radicals in the Liberal Party, she opposed what she saw as the party''s drift away from her father''s brand of liberalism.
