About this audiobook

The riveting account of the 1980s rivalry between superstars Anna Wintour of Vogue and Tina Brown of Vanity Fair


Inside the Condé Nast magazine world, Anna Wintour and Tina Brown were bold and talented British women who fought their way to the top of a male-dominated American industry. Wintour became an icon of fashion and New York's high society, while Brown helped define the intersection between literary culture and Hollywood celebrity.


They jockeyed for power in the hyper-competitive "off with their heads" atmosphere set up by S.I Newhouse Jr. and Alex Liberman, the two men who controlled the glossy magazines that dictated how women should look, dress, and feel. Wintour and Brown challenged the old rules and made billionaire Newhouse's company internationally famous. Ultimately, one of them won in their fascinating struggle for fame and fortune during the height of New York's gilded age of print.


At its heart, ALL THAT GLITTERS is a parable about the changes in America's media where corruption is sprinkled with glitter, power and glory. Originally titled Newhouse, this re-issued version will feature a brand-new introduction and afterword.
