Women of Means: the Fascinating Biographies Royals, Heiresses, Eccentrics and Other Poor Little Rich Girls (Stories & Famous, Famous Women) in Chattanooga, TN
Heiresses have always been targets of envy. These lucky ladies were the ones for whom the cornucopia had been upended, showering them with unimaginable wealth and opportunity. From the author of Behind Every Great Man we now have Women of Means, a collection of vignettes of the women who were slated from birth-or marriage-to great privilege, only to endure lives which were the stuff that tragic Russian heroines are made of. Some of the heiresses whose silver spoons tarnished include: Almira Herbert, Countess of Carnarvon, the real-life counterpart to Lady Cora of Downton Abbey, Liliane Bettencourt, whose chemist father created L'Oreal…and was a Nazi collaborator, Peggy Guggenheim, who had an insatiable appetite for modern art and men, Nica Rothschild, who traded her gilded life to become the Baroness of Bebop, Patty Hearst, who walked the path from pampered daughter to Tania the terrorist
