Who Said Men Get to Monopolize the Glory?Discover the Little Known Women Who Have Put the World's Alpha Males on the Map.From ancient times to the present, men have gotten most of the good ink.

Through fame and its attendant ills—alcoholism, infidelity, mental illness, divorce, and even attempted murder—these powerful women quietly propelled their men to the top and changed the course of history.Meet the Untold Half of History, Including:Alma Reville (Mrs. Alfred Hitchcock)Elena Diakonova (Mrs. Salvador Dali)Winifred Madikizela (Mrs. Nelson Mandela)Ann Charteris (Mrs. Ian Fleming, a.k.a. Mrs. James Bond)Ruth Alpern (Mrs. Bernie Maddoff)And 35 more!
