Women of Privilege

100 Years of Love and Loss in a Family of the Hudson River Valley

Beschreibung

Carolyn Heilbrun, the American academic and feminist author, stated that books about the real lives of women aren't written often enough. This book is an attempt to fill that gap. It describes three generations of women at Grasmere - a country estate in Rhinebeck, New York - who suffered because of the patriarchal attitudes of the men in their lives. Combining biography and memoir with social history, it traces the decline of a once privileged family whose neighbours were Vanderbilts, Delanos and Roosevelts.
