Book Review of Hetty: The Genius and Madness of America's First Female Tycoon

Hetty: The Genius and Madness of America's First Female Tycoon

I truly knew nothing about Hetty Green, other than the blurb about her that used to be in The Guinness Book of World Records. I found her to be a fascinating, if not very nice, character. Her family interactions were difficult to swallow at times, all in the name of money. A quick read, with insight into a unique woman.
