The Dollar Princesses: The American Invasion of the European Aristocracy 1870-1914" is a historical book by Ruth Brandon. It explores the phenomenon of wealthy American heiresses marrying into European aristocracy during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These women, often referred to as "dollar princesses," brought substantial wealth to often financially struggling noble families. The book delves into the social and cultural dynamics of these transatlantic unions, examining the motivations, experiences, and consequences for both the American brides and their European husbands.
