| Summary |
When Lillie Langtry defies the moral traditions of Victorian England and nineteenth century America, she becomes one of the most celebrated and scandalous women of her time. Bold, intelligent and witty, Lillie, with her dazzling beauty and brazen determination, is liberated from a woman's "proper" place in society. Rising from modest beginnings to international superstar to the bed of the Prince of Wales, she is a "serial" lover, attracting attention from kings, judges, princes and commoners, and manipulating them as she desires. |
