520    "In an engaging and anecdotal social history, Maiden 
       Voyages explores how women's lives were transformed by the
       Golden Age of ocean liner travel between Europe and North 
       America. During the early twentieth century, transatlantic
       travel was the province of the great ocean liners. It was 
       an extraordinary undertaking made by many women, whose 
       lives were transformed by their journeys between the Old 
       World and the New. Some travelled for leisure, some for 
       work; others to reinvent themselves or find new 
       opportunities. They were celebrities, migrants and 
       millionaires, refugees, aristocrats and crew members whose
       stories have mostly remained untold-until now. Maiden 
       Voyages is a fascinating portrait of these women as they 
       crossed the Atlantic. The ocean liner was a microcosm of 
       contemporary society, divided by class: from the luxury of
       the upper deck, playground for the rich and famous, to the
       cramped conditions of steerage or third class travel. In 
       first class you'll meet A-listers like Marlene Dietrich, 
       Wallis Simpson, and Josephine Baker; the second class 
       carried a new generation of professional and independent 
       women, like pioneering interior designer Sibyl Colefax. 
       Down in steerage, you'll follow the journey of émigré 
       Maria Riffelmacher as she escapes poverty in Europe. 
       Bustling between decks is a crew of female workers, 
       including Violet "The Unsinkable Stewardess" Jessop, who 
       survived the Titanic disaster. Entertaining and 
       informative, Maiden Voyages captures the golden age of 
       ocean liners through the stories of the women whose 
       transatlantic journeys changed the shape of society on 
       both sides of the globe"-- Provided by publisher.
