en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 apr 2023
Seduced by the Light is the first and only biography of Mina Miller Edison, the wife of Thomas Edison, the woman who created and shaped the myth of one of the most seminal figures in America's history. The Thomas Edison we think we know was essentially created by Mina Miller Edison. Exhaustively researched, author Alexandra Rimer, Rutgers faculty member and Assistant Editor at the Thomas Edison Papers, draws on unprecedented access to Edison family diaries, memoirs, and letters to look below the surface of the Edison family during the Gilded Age from the little-known perspective of this female protagonist. Following his first wife¿s death. Thomas Edison went in search of the next mother to his children, and chose a wealthy 20-year-old socialite from Ohio 19 years his junior. What Mina did not know at the time was that Edison was a terrible father, completely neglecting his children and, ultimately, Mina herself. Absorbed in his work, he only interacted with his family at dinner, and sometimes not even then. The result was a dysfunctional family overseen by a saintly matriarch, who went to great lengths to protect Edison¿s reputation as well as that of his wayward children.
