Title: The Rockefeller Women
Description: Unlike other Gilded Age dynasties, the Rockefellers believed piety and profit merged, leading them to tremendous contributions in medicine, art, music, civil rights, historic preservation, and education. Unlike other Rockefellers who slid down paths of tragedy, including suicide, and in one case, murder, John D.'s line produced remarkable women: Eliza Davison Rockefeller; Laura Spelman Rockefeller; Edith Rockefeller McCormick; Abby Aldrich Rockefeller; and Margaretta "Happy" Rockefeller.

Clarice Stasz takes an intimate look at a family of American royalty - through the eyes of its women.
