Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 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. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Olinsky, Susan (jacket design); Lang, Thom (jacket photographs) (illustrator). 1st Edition. Fine unread condition red boards with gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quote; Introduction; Epilogue; Acknowledgments; Notes and Sources; Bibliography and Index. Illustrated with three sections of black-and-white photographs. "Bold, brilliant, and utterly ruthless, Helena Rubinstein and Elizabeth Arden spawned the modern beauty industry and forever changed the way women think about cosmetics, salons, and wrinkles. Along the way, they rubbed elbows with many of the greats in the worlds of the arts and fashion and helped launch several brilliant careers. Yet, other than official press releases and autobiographical accounts that tend to be more fluff than fact, little has been written about the two. Now, nearly forty years after their deaths, War Paint goes behind the gloss and glamour to tell the riveting true story of these remarkable women and their epic achievements - and no less epic rivalry. In the late nineteenth century, good girls didn't want careers - and they certainly didn't paint their faces. Business, like politics and every other field of serious endeavor, was considered inherently unsuited for a member of the fairr sex. In War Paint, Lindy Woodhead reveals how two unlikely young women, Chaja Rubinstein and Florence Nightingale Graham, both born into poverty - one in the Krakow Ghetto, the other in rural Canada - and lacking any formal edcucation, defied nineteenth-century notions of class and gender and went on to become two of the twentieth century's most powerful business tycoons. A story of unquenchable ambition and unbendable wills, of bitchy turf wars and grand obsessions, and, above all, of true business genius, War Paint reveals how "Madame" and "Miss Arden" (or "that woman!" and "the other one,", as each was known to the other, respectively) transformed the piddling toiletries trade of the 1890s into today's insatiable, multibillion-dollar market for dreams in creams - and how, in the process, they pioneered modern advertising, product packaging, consumer public relations, and direct marketing. From the Montparnasse of Hemighway and Picasso and the the Greenwich Village of E.E. Cummings and Djuna Barnes to the ballrooms and boardrooms of New York, Paris, and London, War paint weaves a vivid tapestry of intersecting lives and warring ambitions in the early decades of the twentieth century. An engrossing dual biography set against the grand sweep of two world wars and the birth of the modern consumer culture, War Paint is at once a master stroke of scholarship and a good, old-fashioned, juicy tell-all about the supremely talented, deeply flawed doyennes of the modern culture of beauty." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. "The amount of research and meticulous personal data in this book is really quite remarkable and compelling. It provides a wealth of information from which to draw wonderfully three-dimensional characters and humanizes this iconic twosome." - Raquel Welch. "I have seldom enjoyed a book so much as War Paint. The research is staggering - I loved all the detail about society and the arts in Paris, New York, and London that so beautifully set our two heroines in contextduring such a long span of years .it was a wonderful read." - Lulu Guinness. ".With first-hand research and fast-paced prose, Woodhead has succeeded in turning dusty archives into high drama." - Suzy Menkes, International Herald Tribune. "It might seem impossible to wring another drop of H2O (water is still a 90 percent base of most cosmetics), let alone humour and historical interest, out of the absurd but ever-alluring beauty business, but Lindy Woodhead has succeeded." - Nicky Haslam, Literary Review. "These were women who were tough in business, who had a single vision - an idea of what they believed in and would do ANYTHING to get there." - Bobbi Brown. ".
