Show Notes
Women’s History Month continues with a woman who embodies so many of the contradictions of the women's movement: Alva Vanderbilt Belmont
Join Rebecca and Becca as they discuss this paragon of NY society and funder of the suffrage movement: heroine, villainess, pampered society matron, champion of women, and so much more!
