Download or read book Hetty written by Charles Slack and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2011-04-05 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This acclaimed biography of the Gilded Age’s Queen of Wall Street is “a must-read for all aspiring moguls” (Regina Herzlinger, Harvard Business School). When J. P. Morgan called a meeting of New York's financial leaders after the stock market crash of 1907, Hetty Green was the only woman in the room. The Guinness Book of World Records memorialized her as the World's Greatest Miser, and, indeed, this unlikely robber baron—who parlayed a comfortable inheritance into a fortune that was worth about 1.6 billion in today's dollars—was frugal to a fault. But in an age when women weren't even allowed to vote, never mind concern themselves with interest rates, she lived by her own rules. In Hetty, Charles Slack reexamines her life and legacy, giving us, at long last, a splendidly “nuanced portrait” (Newsweek) of one of the greatest—and most eccentric—financiers in American history. This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more. “[Hetty’s] wry wit and colorful personality bring humor and pathos to this story. . . . [R]eaders cannot help from cheering for her at every turn.” —Booklist “An exemplary retelling for a new generation.” —Kirkus Reviews “Entertaining. . . . Slack . . . concentrates on telling a good story and telling it well.” —Publishers Weekly “Wonderfully detailed.” —Forbes “Page-turning.” —Richmond Times-Dispatch “Fascinating.” —New York Post

Download or read book The Richest Woman in America written by Janet Wallach and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2013-06-04 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No woman in the Gilded Age made as much money as Hetty Green, America’s first female tycoon. A strong woman who forged her own path, she was worth at least $100 million by the end of her life in 1916—equal to about $2.5 billion today. Green was mocked for her simple Quaker ways and her unfashionable frugality in an era of opulence and excess; the press even nicknamed her “The Witch of Wall Street.” But those who knew her admired her wit and wisdom, and while financiers around her rose and fell as financial bubbles burst, she steadily amassed a fortune that supported businesses, churches, municipalities, and even the city of New York. Janet Wallach’s engrossing biography reveals striking parallels between past financial crises and current recession woes, and speaks not only to history buffs but to today’s investors, who just might learn a thing or two from Hetty Green.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giles Fairhaven, Viscount Kincade, does not believe his life can get much worse after his purse is stolen at an inn before he has paid his bill and then he is set upon by three ruffians in the inn yard before he can leave. But it does grow worse when a little slip of a lady clad only in a flannel nightgown and wielding a large black man's umbrella comes to his rescue and puts his assailants to rout and then--after he has left--pays his reckoning at the inn plus the money he lost the evening before in a card game with a fellow guest plus what he owed the barmaid with whom he spent the night. The ensuing gossip is almost too much humiliation for Giles to bear. Yet when he finds and confronts Daisy Morrison in London, far from being cowed by his displeasure, she declares with sunny good nature that if he insists upon repaying the slight favour she was able to do for him, then he can recommend a lady sponsor to her so that she may find a husband for her younger sister among the gentlemen of the ton. Inexplicably, Giles finds himself agreeing. His troubles are only just beginning.
