Review
This exhaustively researched and beautifully written work finally brings Helen Frick out from under the shadow of her father and recognizes her contribution to art collecting, photo archiving, cataloguing, war relief, and women's charities. Sanger adds immeasurably to our knowledge about the private and public lives of elite women in America, philanthropy, family dynamics, and the politicking that takes places behind the closed doors of museum boardrooms. - Dianne Sachko Macleod, author of Enchanted Lives, Enchanted Objects: American Women Collectors and the Making of Culture ""The daughter of one of Pittsburgh's steel magnates, Helen Clay Frick left her own legacy of philanthropy, nationally, in the art world and in the lives of working-class women. This biography is a valuable contribution to women's history, adding especially to the literature on women's philanthropy during the first three quarters of the twentieth century."" - Carolyn Carson, University of Pittsburgh ""This brilliant book reveals as never before the extraordinary life of Helen Clay Frick, one of the twentieth century's most powerful, elusive, and sometimes vindictive women. Her great-niece has closely examined private family records, museum archives, and many published accounts of events with her characteristic openness to the truth. She has brought to light an amazing range of fascinating issues and events and explains many of Helen Frick's attitudes that have long perplexed her friends, foes, and the curious."" - Donald Miller, former art and architecture critic, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
