From the rear cover
Her name was Rebecca Aston Brown, but the world knew her as Miss Bettie. Artist, world traveler, and for the times most shocking of all, a spinster to the end of her days, Bettie's life has been the subject of conjecture and rumor. This book tells the real story of a woman who epitomized America's Golden Age and represented the changing face of the Victorian woman at the tunr of the century.
Born into merchant aristocracy of Galveston, Texas in 1855, Miss Bettie enjoyed a luxurious upbringing in the late 19th century. She would prove to be an unconventional thinker who spurned most of society's rules governing women.
Bettie traveled the world hobnobbing with royalty and the politically powerful. An eminent persence in Galvestoin civic affairs, Miss Bettie helped care for the homeless after the Great Storm of 1900, raised money for many children's charities, and served on the board of the Letitial Rosenberg Women's House. Join author and historian Sherrie S. McLeRoy as she explores the colorful history of Bettie Brown.
