She also wrote and starred in a four-part documentary regarding the role of women in society, entitled The Ascent of Woman. After completing her DPhil, Foreman remained at Oxford as a researcher, and in 1998 she published her first book, Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, based on her doctoral thesis. Published by HarperCollins in the UK and Random House in the US, the book was an international best-seller and reached number one in the UK as a hardback, paperback, and reissue nine years later. It was shortlisted for the 1998 Guardian First Book Prize, and won the 1998 Whitbread Prize for Best Biography. The book has been the subject of a television documentary, a radio play, starring Judi Dench, and a film, The Duchess, starring Ralph Fiennes and Keira Knightley. Foreman has dual citizenship, and splits her time between New York City, Kinderhook, New York, and London. She is a senior research fellow at the Centre for Editing Lives and Letters, Queen Mary, University of London. (Wikipedia).
