A propos de cet article

A Glimpse Behind the Facade of Rich and Famous Womenwild, witty, gossipy, and glamourous. A sheer delight. Becca Anderson, author ofBadass Women Give the Best Advice #1 Best Seller in Women's Studies and Biographies of the Rich & Famous and Royalty An intimate portrait of women of privilege. As Becca Anderson recommends, read about heiress Barbara Hutton's outrageous lifestyle, Jackie O as a step-mom, Patty Hearst's many adventures, Peggy Guggenheim's collection of art (and men), and Almira Carnarvon, the real-life counterpart to Lady Cora ofDownton Abbey. The grass isn't greener on the other side.Heiresses have always been viewed with eyes of envy. They were the ones for whom the cornucopia had been upended, showering them with unimaginable wealth and opportunity. However, through intimate historical biographies,Women of Meansshows us that oftentimes the weaving sisters saved their most heart-wrenching tapestries for the destinies of wealthy women. Happily never after.From the author ofBehind Every Great Man, we now haveWomen of Means, vignettes of the women who were slated from birthor marriageto great privilege, only to endure lives which were the stuff Russian tragic heroines are made of. They are the nonfictional Richard Corysthose not slated for happily ever after. Women of Meansis a non-fiction best seller, full of the best biographies of all time. Some of the women whose silver spoons rusted include: Liliane Bettencourt, whose chemist father created LOreal. and was a Nazi collaborator Nica Rothschild, who traded her gilded life to become the Baroness of Bebop Jocelyn Wildenstein, who became a cosmetology-enhanced cat-woman Ruth Madoff, the dethroned queen of Manhattan Patty Hearst, who trod the path from heiress. to terrorist Fans ofWomen of Meanswill want to try other Marlene Wagman-Geller books including Fabulous Female Firsts, Great Second Acts, Still I Rise, Unabashed Women, and Women Who Launch. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
