This biography explores the remarkable life of Hetty Green, America's first female tycoon, who amassed a vast fortune during the Gilded Age through shrewd investments and a contrarian approach to finance. Despite facing personal setbacks and societal scorn, she demonstrated independence and resilience, becoming an influential figure in American economic history. Set against a backdrop of financial crises similar to today's, the book offers a compelling look at her tenacious spirit and enduring legacy.
