Lady with a Past
A Petulant French Sculptor, His Quest for Immortality, and the Real Story of the Statue of Liberty
by Elizabeth Mitchell
She's as American as apple pie, but the Statue of Liberty didn't start out that way. The brainchild of a comically egomaniacal French artist, Lady Liberty has an early history that was anything but patriotic. From the author of the Byliner bestseller The Fearless Mrs. Goodwin, the little-known tale of how America's beloved green giantess came to be.
"Mitchell has written a page-turner, exposing the riveting history of the Statue of Liberty, a tale far more brilliant in its complexity than the short-hand version we all know. A stunning jewel of intrigue."
