This book is included on Audible Plus. I downloaded it the other night on a whim, and I am so glad that I did. I believe it was an eight hour listen.
I have read other biographies about a few of the heiresses mentioned, such as Almina Carnarvon and Patty Hearst. This book dedicated each chapter to a different woman, which I really liked. It kind of reminded me of Princesses Behaving Badly as far as formatting. This book gave enough information to interest the reader in the subject, but not so much information that it became boring or overwhelming. In fact, I looked up a couple of biographies dedicated to a couple of the ladies in the book. Some of the facts I am certain are incorrect, and I wish that would have been caught during editing. (Especially in the case of the Mountbatten's.) I really enjoyed learning about these women and how they were behaved, how they rebelled, and how some were swindled.
