Description
"From 1874--the year that Jennie Jerome, the first known 'Dollar Princess,' married Randolph Churchill--to 1905, dozens of young American heiresses married into the British peerage, bringing with them all the fabulous wealth, glamour, and sophistication of the Gilded Age. Anne de Courcy sets the stories of these young women and their families in the context of their times. Based on ... first-hand research, drawing on diaries, memoirs, and letters, this ... group biography reveals what they thought of their new lives in England--and what England thought of them"--,Provided by publisher.
