War Paint Zusammenfassung

War Paint Lindy Woodhead

The story of two remarkable women - Elizabeth Arden and Helena Rubinstein. Between them they left an extraordinary legacy which touches the lives of virtually all women today: the creation of the modern cosmetics and beauty industry. The book traces the humble beginnings of both Arden and Rubinstein and examines the forces and influences that drove them. It also explores the period in which they lived, without an understanding of which their phenomenal achievement cannot be truly appreciated. The similarities between the two are intriguing: dedicated to beauty, they were both born into genteel poverty and were motivated by money and the creation of their businesses, to the exclusion of almost everything else. They were both avid social climbers and desperately thrifty. They also hated each other. This is the story of an industry, of a social movement and of a great rivalry.

War Paint Bewertungen

'Lindy Woodhead's riveting and thoroughly researched biography of Rubinstein and Arden, is a work of chutzpah in its own right ... the definitive biography of women and their relationships to their faces in the twentieth century' GUARDIAN 'Lindy Woodhead, who has a nice line in neatly turned phrases and in well-aimed sideswipes herself, has written about these two slap- dragons with humorous sensitivity and sympathy' LITERARY REVIEW 'Glamorous Battleaxes make good copy. Feuding ones are better still. Given a title like WAR PAINT ... one is all set for a tale of glamour-dripping hissy fits' The Independent on Sunday 'fantastically rich in its detailing of 20th century cultural and social history... Beautiful illustrated endpapers add the final luxury touch' The Independent on Sunday 'what a relief it is to read so detailed, well researched and competent a book... Woodhead knows her stuff and takes it seriously' Sunday Times
