Overview

Elsie de Wolfe was a woman who didn't just decorate rooms-she created a profession. Born into the stifling formality of the Gilded Age, she rebelled against its dark, cluttered interiors to become the ""founding mother"" of interior design. This book is the story of a life meticulously crafted as a work of art. From her audacious debut as an actress to her revolutionary business, de Wolfe's journey was one of constant self-invention. She liberated the American home with a new aesthetic of light, simplicity, and comfort, and in doing so, forged a path for women to become creative professionals. More than a biography of style, this is the tale of an unconventional life lived with unwavering conviction-a quiet revolutionary who showed the world that a home, like a life, could be designed with elegance and grace.
