Summary
the story of Abby Aldrich, the woman who transformed the character of one of America's most powerful families and then, as a pioneering museum founder, helped open the nation's eyes to modern art. Drawing on letters and diaries and revealing interviews with family members and others, the author has created a portrait of this vibrant woman that is both intimate and sweeping, that moves from the intricacies of her homelife to her work in larger arenas. In 1928, with two other women - Lillie Bliss and Mary Sullivan - Abby took the first step toward founding a museum of modern art. The Museum of Modern Art is her crowning achievement
