The Dollar Princesses of the Gilded Age
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. Comments or Questions? Or have an idea for future episodes - #pitchtothepod?
