Bertie's Women

a list of the various women in the life of Bertie Wooster

from the works of P. G. Wodehouse

AUNTS "Those who know Bertram Wooster best are aware that in his journey through life
he is impeded and generally snookered by about as scaly a collection of aunts as was ever assembled."
Dahlia Travers Aunt Dahlia (wife to Tom Travers, employer of Anatole the supreme chef); generally kind to Bertie (yet still orders him to pull stunts); used to go hunting, still speaks as if she had just sighted a fox on a hillside half a mile away
Agatha Gregson Aunt Agatha (Henry's sister) the canonical battle-axe, keenly aware of the existence of class distinctions, forever disappointed with Bertie in every way
Emily Wooster Aunt Emily (widow of Bertie's father's brother Henry Wooster) is the mother of Claude and Eustace Wooster; we don't see much of her



LOVE INTERESTS (sometimes with full enthusiasm, sometimes forced upon him)
Madeline Bassett believes in fairies; suddenly asks you out of a blue sky if you don't sometimes feel that the stars are God's daisy-chain; engaged to Gussie
Stephanie "Stiffy" Byng Madeline's cousin, Pop's niece; smallish girl, wants to marry Harold Pinker
Lady Florence Craye wanted to improve Bertie, forcing him to read Types of Ethical Theory by James Martineau, followed by Nietzsche (she has a wonderful profile, though)
Honoria Glossop daughter of Sir Roderick Glossop, a well-known psychiatrist: "One of those dashed large, brainy, strenuous, dynamic girls [with] the physique of a middle-weight catch-as-catch-can wrestler."
Gwladys Pendlebury a portrait painter (never actually seen or heard)
Cora "Corky" Pirbright actress; Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright's sister
Pauline Stoker daughter of American multi-millionaire J. Washburn Stoker
Angela Travers Bertie's cousin (Aunt Dahlia's daughter); engaged to Tuppy; quite a good egg
Lady Cynthia Wickhammersley the sort of girl who would want a fellow to carve out a career — nearly laughed herself into a permanent state of hiccoughs when Bertie proposed to her
Roberta "Bobbie" Wickham a redheaded girl enamoured of practical jokes
