We begin with honoring the woman that really had the idea to build this Women's Club, Daisy Harriman, and she is being interviewed by a reporter about her accomplishments and how it came about, the year is 1963.
The story begins in early 1900's, when Daisy needs to return to NYC for some shopping, she can't stay at the men's club, so now where can she go? What a journey we embark on to bring the Colony Club to fruition, and all the obstacles that are put in their path.
This is also about a female architect and the firm that hires her, a man that saw her potential, and that tragedy that follows him. We also meet Elsie de Wolfe, an actress that changes her life and with a great eye she becomes an interior designer, and makes this club opulent with style.
This is such an interesting historical read!
