Emma Margaret Asquith, Countess of Oxford and Asquith (nee Tennant 1864 - 1945), known as Margot Asquith, was a British socialite, author, and wit. She was married to H. H. Asquith, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. During World War I, Asquith’s outspokenness led to a public outcry. For example, she visited a German prisoner of war camp and she accused her shell-shocked stepson Herbert of being drunk. The negative public and media response may well have contributed to the political downfall of her husband. After her husband’s death, she was left in near penury and, though she made some money as a writer of numerous autobiographies, her financial position caused her constant concern. Margot was known for her outspokenness and acerbic wit.
