Fiona MacCarthy
Fiona MacCarthy, OBE (born 23 January 1940) is a British biographer and cultural historian best known for her studies of 19th and 20th century art and design.
==Early life and education==
Fiona MacCarthy was born into an upper class background, from which she spent much of her life escaping. Her father, an army officer, was killed in World War II when she was a child of three. She was brought up in London. Her grandmother, the Baroness de Belabre, was a daughter of Sir Robert McAlpine who built and owned the Dorchester Hotel and much of her childhood was spent in the hotel. The concrete construction of the Dorchester was said to make it bomb-proof and her whole family, as well as leading politicians, socialites and military commanders, took refuge in the Dorchester during the Blitz.
She was educated at Wycombe Abbey School.〔(Paul Laity. ''The Guardian'', 2 Sept 2011. "A life in writing: Fiona MacCarthy" )〕 In 1958, she was a debutante (presented to the Queen), the final year of this 200-year-old ritual, an experience she recounts in her 2007 memoir, ''Last Curtsey: the End of the Debutantes''.〔(Matthew J. Reisz. ''The Independent''. 6 Oct 2006. "Fiona MacCarthy: The Last Debutante" )〕 She was one of only four of that year's debutantes to go on to university, in her case studying for a degree in English Literature at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford.
