Among the fabled tycoons of the Gilded Age—Carnegie, Rockefeller, Vanderbilt—is a forgotten figure: Mrs. Frank Leslie. For twenty years she ran the country’s largest publishing company, Frank Leslie Publishing, which chronicled postbellum America in dozens of weeklies and monthlies. A pioneer in an all-male industry, she made a fortune and became a national celebrity and tastemaker in the process. Diamonds and Deadlines reveals the unknown, sensational life of the brilliant and brazen “empress of journalism”.

Wonderful biography of forgotten gilded age publishing icon
Revisado: 03-24-24
This biography entertains and educates at the same time! It’s a well written and engaging account of the talented but flawed and colorful gilded age publishing icon, Miriam Leslie, apparently mostly now forgotten. A great way to learn about journalism, women’s issues and the allure of high society in this era. Just a great read or listen all the way through!
