This book tells the story of wealthy American heiresses who married into the European aristocracy between 1870 and 1914. These women brought with them vast fortunes, which they used to revitalize the declining fortunes of European noble families. The narrative explores the social and cultural dynamics of this transatlantic exchange, examining the motivations, expectations, and experiences of both the American brides and their European husbands. It also considers the broader historical context, including the rise of American economic power and the changing nature of European aristocracy.
