Miriam Leslie was a trailblazer for women in the Gilded Age, running her husband's company Frank Leslie Publishing for twenty years and advocating for women's suffrage. But she was also the subject of scandal and gossip, openly taking lovers, marrying four times, and generally rejecting traditions. Author Betsy Prioleau joins us to discuss her new biography of Leslie, Diamonds and Deadlines: A Tale of Greed, Deceit, and a Female Tycoon in the Gilded Age.
