The Dollar Princesses of the Gilded Age - a podcast by DC by Foot

from 2023-08-31T17:29

:: ::

This week, we take a look at a social phenomenon that took the Gilded Age by storm; young, rich, American women marrying into the titled aristocracy of the fading British Empire, also known as "Dollar Princesses."
 
Join Rebecca and Becca as we discuss wealth, patriarchy, and a very specific type of international relations.
