This book follows the lives of Rothschild women from 19th through 21st centuries. The book is filled with historical events and facts, and I did find myself making several notations to look up things later on that were interesting to me. I love to learn, so I really appreciated that about this book. I was pretty familiar with several of the male counterparts of these Rothschild women, as they are from a deeply patriarchal family and society, so learning about the women was a lot of fun for me. They were very influential behind the scenes for a lot of public figures, and even influential publicly. It was really interesting to see how many other "famous names" these ladies were associated with. It was also very interesting to see their struggles. I love books about family dynasties, so this was certainly right up my alley.

The content of this book was really good. I would have happily given it a four star rating, but I have the Audible version and I did not enjoy the narrator of this book at all. It made for a very tedious 13 hour listen. I love the author of the book, Natalie Livingstone, and am a great fan of her work. Her research is well done, and I love her ability to convey historical facts in a manner that is both educational and interesting. She is also very nice to interact with on Twitter, and I am looking forward to reading more of her work. I think I will be sure to get physical copies from now on, or double check the narrator in the future.
