Iconic and visionary women in the 19th century. Striving to outdo each other, these trailblazers challenged each other and society, changing the course of history.
Coco Chanel & Elsa Schiaparelli; Sarah Bernhardt & the Eleonora Duse; American gossip columnists Hedda Hopper & Louella Parsons; Joan Fontaine & her sister Olivia De Havilland. While waging war upon each other, these ten women reached the pinnacle of their careers, establishing themselves in an era of limited opportunities. A fascinating new approach to women in history that demonstrates how the flames of rivalry left its mark of genius.
