"This critical biography explores the life of the famed Victorian actress who, abandoning her position in New York society, undertook a professional career. In advancing the concept of the New Woman, both on and off stage, she became a lightning rod for criticism within a social milieu and profession fervidly clinging to Victorian ideals."--Provided by publisher.
