Reviews

"The women behind The Museum of Modern Art are a disparate lot: plucky, unassuming, discerning, ubiquitous, invisible. Their stories are--in these finely honed portraits--universally thrilling. A volume of rich, revelatory chronicles, from Mary Quinn Sullivan's improbable downtown shopping spree to Elizabeth Mock's embrace of modern architecture to Olga Guggenheim's decision to replace two Monets lost in the Museum's 1958 fire with, well, two Monets.--Stacy Schiff ""Pulitzer-Prize winning author"""
