About this ebook
From New York Times bestselling author Marie Benedict comes the story of the richest woman of the Gilded Age, the brilliant and controversial Hetty Green.
The Gilded Age, New York City: Hetty Robinson is not your average young woman. Instead of marrying a proper young man as her family and society expects, Hetty defies their rules and joins her father in business, where her brilliance and daring investment strategies create enormous wealth.
Her heart is eventually captured by a handsome businessman, whose ambition matches her own. But after a shocking betrayal, Hetty vows never to depend on anyone ever again. As she forges a financial empire independent of her father and husband, she outmaneuvers the titans of Wall Street, like Andrew Carnegie and J. P. Morgan, who despised her and gave her the notorious nickname "The Witch of Wall Street."
Yet behind the legend is a woman far more complex than history remembers: a fiercely determined, deeply compassionate mother, wife, and daughter who also saved the city of New York from financial ruin. In The Witch of Wall Street, Marie Benedict presents an achingly human portrait of Hetty Green—a Wall Street legend and the self-made richest woman of the Gilded Age.
