Description

Explore the complex social dynamics of the late 19th and early 20th centuries with Gilded Prostitution: Status, Money and Transatlantic Marriages, 1870-1914. This scholarly work from the Routledge Library Editions: Women's History series examines the marriages between British peers and American women during a period of significant social change. As London and New York societies opened up, a new competition for high social status emerged. This book analyzes how American women were perceived within British high society, often facing accusations of driving hedonism and materialism. You will read about the tensions and the simmering anti-American sentiment in Britain, where American women were frequently described as vain or calculating. This historical study provides a deep look at how titled Americans influenced the British peerage and the social consequences of these transatlantic unions. It is an essential resource for readers interested in European history, gender studies, and the social evolution of the Gilded Age.
