no 1 New Free up in Royalty ─ Glimpse At the back of the Façade of Wealthy and Well-known Women
If you really liked The Closing Castle and Lean In, you’ll love Women of Means.
The Grass Is not Greener at the Different Aspect: Heiresses have at all times been seen with eyes of envy. They had been the ones for whom the cornucopia had been upended, showering them with impossible wealth and probability. Alternatively, via intimate ancient biographies, Women of Means presentations us that many times the weaving sisters stored their so much center-wrenching tapestries for the destinies of rich ladies.
Happily By no means After: From the writer of Behind Each and every Nice Man, now we have Women of Means, vignettes of the ladies who had been slated from beginning―or marriage―to Nice privilege, best to bear lives which have been the stuff Russian tragic heroines are fabricated from. They’re the nonfictional Richard Corys―the ones no longer slated for luckily ever after.
Women of Means is sure to be a non-fiction best possible supplier, stuffed with the most efficient biographies of all time. Probably the most ladies whose silver spoons rusted come with:
- Almira Carnarvon, the true-lifestyles counterpart to Woman Cora of Downton Abbey
- Liliane Bettencourt, whose chemist father created L’Oreal… and used to be a Nazi collaborator
- Peggy Guggenheim, who had an insatiable urge for food for up to date artwork and men
- Nica Rothschild, who traded her gilded lifestyles to change into the Baroness of Bebop
- Jocelyn Wildenstein, who turned into a cosmetology-greater cat-woman
- Ruth Madoff, the dethroned queen of Manhattan
- Patty Hearst, who trod the trail from heiress… to terrorist
