Her father soon started to spend the family fortune, enthusiastically supported by Consuelo's mother, Alva, who was determined to attain the top of New York society. She was adamant that her daughter should make a grand marriage to the underfunded Duke of Marlborough--it didn't matter that Consuelo loved someone else. However, the story of Consuelo and Alva is not simply one of the emptiness of wealth, of the glamour of the Gilded Age, and of enterprising social ambition. This is an account of how two women struggled to break free from the materialistic world into which they were born, taking up the fight for female equality. Consuelo threw herself into good works, and her social and political campaigns proved an antidote to loneliness. Alva embraced the militant suffragette movement in America, campaigning vehemently for women's rights until she died.--From publisher description. 600 10 Balsan, Consuelo Vanderbilt.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/nr95017529 600 10 Belmont, Alva,|d1853-1933.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /names/no98120824 600 17 Balsan, Consuelo Vanderbilt.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/355869 600 17 Belmont, Alva,|d1853-1933.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/425201 650 0 Mothers and daughters|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008107967|vBiography.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001237 650 0 Rich people|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh2010111046|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001237 650 0 Suffragists|zUnited States|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh2008111856 650 7 Mothers and daughters.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /1026997 650 7 Rich people.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1097537 650 7 Suffragists.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1137197 650 7 Suffragettes.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/ homoit0001346 651 0 United States|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85139912 651 0 Great Britain|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85056608 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 651 7 Great Britain.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204623 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 901 MARCIVE 20231220 935 427760 994 C0|bRID
