Book excerpt: “An extraordinary work of women’s history, offering a candid consideration of the wifely role in politics during a pre-women’s movement era.” —Texas Observer Child of the Great Depression, teenage “Duchess of Palms” beauty queen, wife of an acclaimed novelist and later of a brilliant U.S. congressman, and ultimately a successful single working woman and mother, Nadine Eckhardt has lived a fascinating life. In this unique, funny, and honest memoir, she recounts her journey from being a “fifties girl” who lived through the men in her life to becoming a woman in her own right, working toward her own goals. Eckhardt’s first marriage to writer Billy Lee Brammer gave her entrée to liberal political and literary circles in Austin and Washington, where she and Brammer both worked for Senator Lyndon B. Johnson. She describes the heady excitement of LBJ’s world—a milieu that Brammer vividly captured in his novel The Gay Place. She next recalls her second marriage to Bob Eckhardt, whom she helped get elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, as well as her growing involvement with the counterculture of social protest, sexual revolution, and drug use. Eckhardt honestly recounts how the changing times changed her perception of herself, recalling that “I didn’t know how to achieve for myself, only for others, and I felt ripped off and empty.” This painful realization opened the door to a new life for Eckhardt. Her memoir concludes with a joyful description of her multifaceted later life as a restaurateur, assistant to Molly Ivins, writer, and center of a wide circle of friends. “The ‘answer record’ to The Gay Place—by Brammer’s ex-wife.” —Texas Monthly

Book Synopsis The Last of the Duchess by : Caroline Blackwood
Download or read book The Last of the Duchess written by Caroline Blackwood and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1980, Lady Caroline Blackwood was commissioned by The Sunday Times to write an article on the aging Duchess of Windsor, who was said to be convalescing in her French mansion in the Bois de Boulogne. Yet what began as a curiosity was to become for Blackwood one of the most challenging experiences of her writing career, launching her into a battle of wits with the Duchess's formidable lawyer, Maître Suzanne Blum. Maître Blum refused to let Blackwood near the Duchess, spinning elaborate excuses as to why she was unavailable and threatening anyone who dared suggest that she was in anything other than the best of health. Still, while Blum's machinations restricted Blackwood's ability to publish a frank interview, it only served to pique her interest in the bizarre relationship between the infamous Duchess—a woman who once inspired a king to abdicate his crown—and her eccentric, domineering gatekeeper. Sixteen years later, Blackwood turned her experiences into this riveting and excoriating modern classic about the frailties of old age, the foibles of society, and the dual-edged nature of celebrity.

Book Synopsis Princess Diana, the House of Windsor, and Palm Beach by : Hyman Jacob Roberts
Download or read book Princess Diana, the House of Windsor, and Palm Beach written by Hyman Jacob Roberts and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Persons interested in the remarkable career of Princess Diana and in Palm Beach society will find this book intriguing. The work represents personal social contacts, 12 years of research and interviews, and many previously unpublished observations and commentaries -- including Diana's eating disorder. It also will be appreciated by the countless admirers of "The People's Princess" who experienced profound grief over her tragic death at the age of 36. Its impact on the Palm Beach community is detailed. Few societal happenings have commanded the interest generated by the 1985 visit of Princess Diana and Prince Charles to Palm Beach. Some still regard it as "the social event of the Century." The fame and power of those in attendance attest to this designation. They included Gregory Peck, Bob Hope, Ted Turner, Armand Hammer, Victor Borge, Cary Grant, Merv Griffin, Malcolm Forbes, Abigail Van Buren ("Dear Abby"), H. Ross Perot, Joan Collins, Eva Gabor, Laurance S. Rockerfeller, Donald Trump and the Sultan of Oman. The author and his wife, then the Mayor of West Palm Beach, actively participated in all aspects of the 1985 visit. The details and related subsequent revelations involving these and other members of the House of Windsor are brilliantly recorded in an authoritative manner. The book encompasses earlier visits by the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and subsequent ones by members of the royal family.
