Ladies and Not So Gentle Women by Alfred Allan Lewis Tells of the life and times of Elisabeth Marbury, Anne Morgan, Elsie de Wolfe, and Anne Vanderbilt. The women managed to use their power not only to live personally satisfying lives but to transform the world they lived in. Marbury was the first theatrical/literary agent and invented the American musical comedy. Her companion, Elsie de Wolfe, became the first woman interior decorator. Anne Morgan, daughter of J.P. Morgan, built residential clubs to improve the conditions of working women, while Anne Vanderbilt did more for the American war effort in France than many relief organizations. The book is set on the backdrop of glittering balls and parties and many legendary figures enter into the narrative. From elite social gatherings to war in France to the slums of New York, readers take a tour of the impact and force of women in history.
