As Jews in a Christian society and women in a deeply patriarchal family, the Rothschild women were outsiders. Excluded from the family bank, they forged their own distinct dynasty of daughters and nieces, mothers and aunts. They became influential hostesses and talented diplomats, choreographing electoral campaigns, advising prime ministers, advocating for social reform, and trading on the stock exchange. Natalie Livingstone follows the extraordinary lives of the Rothschild women from the dawn of the 19h century to the early years of the 21st.
What The Reviewers Say
Reads like an epic novel.
Entrancing.
A commendable if curiously titled book on a splendid subject. (Why not simply The Rothschild Women?).
Within a couple of chapters, I was hooked.
