5.0 out of 5 stars
an inspiring woman, a fabulous read...,
By Nora Dupree (Fresh Meadows, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Abby Aldrich Rockefeller: The Woman in the Family (Paperback)
An unplanned visit to Kykuit, the Rockefeller estate in Westchester County New York led me to this book. The tour guide expressed his admiration for Abby Aldrich Rockefeller as he led us through her famous home. He recommended this biography, and from the moment I picked it up, I was delighted! As we toured the house, we viewed the wonderful collection of modern art and heard the stories of how Mrs. Rockefeller founded the Museum of Modern Art, overcoming the objections of her famous and powerful husband, John D. Rockefeller Jr. This book is a history of a powerful woman's life, and a history of the life of a famous museum. A beautiful woman, a devoted wife and mother,an inspired art collector and devoted patron of modern art; the story of Abby Aldrich Rockefeller holds you in its grip from the opening paragraph. One of the best biographies I have ever read!
