The wealthy women of America's Gilded Age lived in a world of enormous mansions, lavish parties, private servants, and strict social expectations. While they were often portrayed as idle socialites, their daily lives were far more complicated than the glittering photographs and grand ballrooms suggest.
In this video, we explore what rich Gilded Age women really did all day. Discover how elite women managed vast households staffed by dozens of servants, navigated the demanding social calendars of New York's high society, and spent countless hours attending charity events, shopping trips, musicales, luncheons, and extravagant dinners. Learn how figures like Alva Vanderbilt and Caroline Astor helped shape the rules of high society and why social status became one of the most important currencies of the era.
