Glitz, Glam, and a Damn Good Time


How Mamie Fish, Queen of the Guilded Age, Partied her way to Power

 

by Jennifer Wright


Wednesday, February 18th


4:00 p.m.

 

Green Room


In Glitz, Glam, and a Damn Good Time, readers will learn all about how Fish and her friends shaped the line of history, exerting their influence on business, politics, family relationships, and social change through elaborate social gatherings. In a time when women couldn’t even own property, let alone run for office, if women wanted any of the things men got outside the home—glory, money, attention, social networking, leadership roles—they did it by throwing a decadent soiree or chairing a cotillion.
