In this interview, Gill and I discuss A Beautiful Rival, her research for this book, what surprised her the most when writing this book, the connections between her books, the impact these two women had on the cosmetics industry, and much more.
Gill's reading recommendations are:
Fifth Avenue Glamour Girl by Renee Rosen
Disobedient by Elizabeth Freemantle
Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver
