1. 1. Glitz, Glam, And A Damn Good Time

   

   Mamie “Mamie” Fish, the self-styled theme-party queen of the Gilded Age, staged extravagant, theatrical gatherings—elephants in ballrooms, dogs in diamonds, guests dressed as dolls—that were equal parts spectacle and strategy. This book traces how her wit, showmanship, and social networks turned parties into a form of power, shaping business, politics, and society at a time when women had little formal authority. A lively, spoiler-free portrait of how leisure and excess became tools of influence.
