Hide Profile

Charlotte Frances Payne-Townshend Shaw was born on January 20, 1857, in Derry, Ireland to Horace Townshend and Mary Kirby. Her father died in 1885, leaving Charlotte a wealthy heiress. For much of her life, she rejected the idea of marriage and turned down all offers made to her. Shaw became friends with British socialists Beatrice and Sidney Webb and, in 1895, became a member of the Fabian Society. During this time, she played a role in founding the London School of Economics, donating the funds to establish a library at the school. She was among the first Trustees of the school and later served as a Governor.

Through the Webbs, Charlotte met Irish playwright Bernard Shaw in 1896, and a year later she made a proposal of marriage to him, which he rejected. Bernard believed that the difference in their wealth was too great. However, when Charlotte left on a world tour, Bernard suffered an injury to his foot and she returned to nurse him back to health in the country. In 1898, Bernard proposed marriage and they were married that same year. Their courtship was the basis for Bernard’s play, A Village Wooing.

In 1922, Shaw met and developed a friendship with T. E. Lawrence, which lasted until his death in 1935. She was an avid traveller, became involved in the women’s suffrage movement, and participated in the Boston Suffrage Parade of 1914. Shaw died September 12, 1943. Her ashes were stored until 1950, when her husband died, and their ashes were mixed together and spread in the garden at their home at Ayot St. Lawrence, England.
