Abigail Masham did not command armies, lead a ministry, or sit in Parliament. Yet for a crucial period in Queen Anne's reign, she stood closer to power than many of the men who claimed to govern Britain.

Born into dependence and advanced through the patronage of Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough, Abigail seemed at first an unlikely figure of consequence. She was a poor relation, a quiet attendant, and a woman whose influence appeared domestic rather than political. But in the court of Queen Anne, private confidence could alter public power.
