Description
Elizabeth Arden's beauty empire had been rising for five years, but her success was about to be challenged by a ruthless rival. Helena Rubinstein was determined to succeed, no matter the cost. As the battle of beauty between these two women intensified, so did their methods - from poaching employees to planting spies. But with each climb to the top came a greater risk of falling. The stakes were high in this world where personal tragedies and broken marriages loomed large. The world was changing dramatically for women, and these two titans of cosmetics were at the forefront of that change. Gill Paul's novel brings to life the unknown history of Elizabeth Arden and Helena Rubinstein, their infamous rivalry and the secrets they kept. A Beautiful Rival is a story of ambition, rivalry, and the personal cost of success.
