Discover the amazing stories of seven women magicians who pulled off spectacular and death-defying illusions and acts, achieved global fame, and then simply...disappeared.
During the Golden Age of Magic from 1860 to 1930, seven women magicians in America defied Victorian conventions and created a unique place in history for themselves and future performers to come. There was Anna, the mindreader; Adelaide, who could float in midair; Talma, who could magically shower the stage with gold coins...and many more!
During a time when women were typically confined to the home, these trailblazers crossed oceans on steamships and traveled the globe bringing their imaginative brand of magic to audiences around the world. They followed their hearts and pursued their dreams of performing magic in the spotlight when women had neither a vote nor a voice in America.
They made history. Yet once their career ended, so did their legacy.
For decades their stories were hidden, or overshadowed by male counterparts, but now they've come to life in this vibrant and captivating audiobook.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"The compelling writing gets an added lift from McDevitt’s color illustrations....All together, this artful little package will astonish its audience and likely vanish from the shelves (in a good way)." —Booklist, starred review
"Hays does a commendable job of entertainingly chronicling the highs and lows of the magicians’ professional and personal lives. Informative and inspiring." —Kirkus Reviews
