Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Defying social and family expectations, the wealthy, often eccentric Alice Pike Barney (1857-1931) zestfully committed herself to the arts and became known for her lively art salons, bohemian lifestyle, and unusual family. Alice and her counterparts in other cities represented a new social type: women who lived proper upper-class lives but did not follow the rules using their wealth and privilege to buy themselves freedoms and to promote causes the rich did not customarily embrace. As an artist, writer, theater director, philanthropist, civic leader, and patron of the arts, Alice moved in the turn-of-the-century artistic circles of Paris, London, and Washington, D.C. Throughout Alice's life, which often seemed a dramatic play of her own writing, she encountered a brilliant cast of characters: among them Oscar Wilde, James McNeill Whistler, and the legendary explorer Henry Morton Stanley, whose impassioned offer of marriage she rejected. Her easygoing personality and charming wit dazzled the artistic circles she traversed with such ease, winning the friendship of Anna Pavlova, Sarah Bernhardt, Ruth St. Denis, and Emma Calve, among many others. This is a new book in the original shrink wrap. An excellent reading copy. Seller Inventory # M0427
