American Empress is a sweeping history of the dramatic life of heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post, daughter of breakfast-cereal magnate C. W. Post. As a young girl growing up in the Midwest, Marjorie Post helped glue cereal boxes in her father's barn, later became a board member of his company, wed a diplomat and by late middle age was widely acknowledged as the unofficial "Queen of Washington, D.C." The glamorous and warm-hearted Mrs. Post was also mother to actress Dina Merrill. Throughout her life, she gave generously to hundreds of civic, artistic and philanthropic causes, among which were the National Symphony Orchestra, the Washington Ballet and the Kennedy Center. By virtue of her brains, beauty and great wealth, Mrs. Post was a woman well ahead of her era, whose natural business acumen created the frozen foods industry and transformed the Postum Cereal Company into the General Foods Corporation.

Special Edition American Empress: The Life and Times of Marjorie Merriweather Post with FREE EASY Reading!

American Empress is the history of Marjorie Merriweather Post 1887-1973), the cereal-company heiress and socialite who built several mansions, including the Mar-A-Lago at Palm Beach, Florida – now President Donald Trump’s private country club. She inherited a fortune from her father at the age of 27. She was both a lover of luxury and an anonymous generous philanthropist. This is reminiscent of Daisy Buchanan in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby!This is the story of her life, poise and beauty, husbands and children, the war years, influences, independence, extravagance, business acumen, how she spent her money, and her golden rules of propriety, punctuality, and perfect posture: ‘she would not tolerate a house that was dark, a movie that ended sadly, or a life that was without hope.’The chapter on the design and construction of Mar-a-Lago is interesting. The chapters about her time in Moscow, as the first ambassadress to Russia, accompanying her third husband Joseph Davies in 1936, are also very interesting – arriving with 50 pieces of hand luggage and 30 trunks!This semi-biography of Marjorie Merriweather Post presents luxurious frivolousness with serious business sense, and a historical account of the life and times she lived in. It’s an interesting book.
