Book Synopsis The Richest Woman in America by : Janet Wallach

Download or read book The Richest Woman in America written by Janet Wallach. This book was released on 2013-06-04. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No woman in the Gilded Age made as much money as Hetty Green, America’s first female tycoon. A strong woman who forged her own path, she was worth at least $100 million by the end of her life in 1916—equal to about $2.5 billion today. Green was mocked for her simple Quaker ways and her unfashionable frugality in an era of opulence and excess; the press even nicknamed her “The Witch of Wall Street.” But those who knew her admired her wit and wisdom, and while financiers around her rose and fell as financial bubbles burst, she steadily amassed a fortune that supported businesses, churches, municipalities, and even the city of New York. Janet Wallach’s engrossing biography reveals striking parallels between past financial crises and current recession woes, and speaks not only to history buffs but to today’s investors, who just might learn a thing or two from Hetty Green.

Book Synopsis The Richest Woman in the World by : M G Lambert

Download or read book The Richest Woman in the World written by M G Lambert. This book was released on 2014-12-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yesterday, July 16, 1898, Louise Lambert's mother was beaten to death by her boss in a shirt factory in Lower Manhattan. Today, her immigrant mother was laid to rest in a charity grave, leaving Louise, 14, orphaned, penniless, desperate. Louise is pulled from the brutality of the seething ghetto streets and swept into the magic of great wealth by her mother's only friend, Cecilia, who arranges a maid's job for Louise in the home of Henry Flagler, a major partner of John. D. Rockefeller in the Standard Oil Company. The remarkable journey of this naive girl delights, startles, shocks, saddens, and intrigues as she unveils the minds and mansions of the super rich and ultra powerful-from oil tycoons and media muckrakers to Teddy Roosevelt, then governor of New York. Louise's journey takes her to Palm Beach, where she discovers the richest people in the world at Flagler's major hotel, the Royal Poinciana-the epitome of the Gilded Age. As a member of the kitchen staff, Louise is captivated by a handsome fisherman who introduces her to the sea and the glories of Florida. Also pursued by the privileged son of a real estate scion, Louise is forced to make a choice between these two ardent suitors. That choice leads Louise to a life no one could have ever predicted or designed. Book One of this trilogy is the threshold to a life that defies grim reality and wild imagination. After conquering her baptism of fire, the once impoverished girl develops into a tenacious young woman, then into a character bigger than life. She is ready for the dream world she never imagined. Or is she? Bonus Chapter for Book Two As a special "thank you" gift with your purchase of this first book introducing you to Louise Lambert, we have included the first chapter of The Richest Woman in the World - Book Two.

Book Synopsis Queen Juliana by : William Hoffman

Download or read book Queen Juliana written by William Hoffman. This book was released on 1979. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Juliana (Dutch pronunciation: [jylija?na], Juliana Louise Emma Marie Wilhelmina, Duchess of Mecklenburg; 30 April 1909? 20 March 2004) was the Queen regnant of the Kingdom of the Netherlands between 1948 and 1980. She was the only child of Queen Wilhelmina and Prince Henry. She was married to German aristocrat Prince Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld, with whom she had four children: Princess Beatrix (born 1938), Princess Irene (born 1939), Princess Margriet (born 1943), Princess Christina (born 1947). During the Second World War she lived in exile with her children in Ottawa, Canada. She became Queen of the Netherlands with her mother's abdication in 1948 and was succeeded by Queen Beatrix after her own abdication in 1980. During her reign both Indonesia (Dutch East Indies) (proclaimed in 1945, recognized in 1949) and Suriname in 1975 became independent from the Netherlands. Her birthday was celebrated annually as Koninginnedag (Queen's Day), until the accession of her grandson King Willem-Alexander to the throne, when it was replaced with Koningsdag (King's Day). Upon her death at the age of 94, she was the longest-lived former ruling monarch in the world. She is commemorated in space, in the name of the asteroid 816 Juliana."--Wikipedia.
