Beatrice Patton

Beatrice came from a family of self-made millionaires, attended the best finishing schools, was fluent in Spanish and French, and picked up just enough Hawaiian to write a book. Her father "joked" when she married George Patton that Beatrice would be the brains and George would get all the glory. Apparently dad jokes were terrible in 1910 too.

Intimately involved with General Patton's career, Beatrice hopped trains and traveled the country raising money for war bonds while catching major feels for those amber waves of grain. When she wasn't stirring up funds, she wrote 22 pieces across 52 publications.
