Due pioniere dell’imprenditoria femminile in una saga che conquisterà le lettrici in cerca di storie di coraggio e indipendenza. Berlino, 1926. Sophia, ventenne, affronta una vita disastrosa: il suo primo amore è finito male, suo padre l’ha allontanata e non può più studiare chimica. L’unica a sostenerla è l’amica Henny, ballerina di cabaret, e così decide di seguirla a Parigi per ricominciare. Qui, si imbatte nel salone di bellezza di Helena Rubinstein, un’imprenditrice di successo nel mondo del make-up. Colpita dall’idea di creare una crema straordinaria per impressionare Helena, Sophia riesce a ottenere un lavoro, ma a un costo: non potrà sposarsi per dieci anni, poiché il matrimonio limita l’autonomia di una donna. Helena coinvolge Sophia in un ambizioso progetto per lanciare una nuova linea di cosmetici per donne mature, sfidando la rivale Elizabeth Arden. Tuttavia, New York si rivela piena di tentazioni e Sophia, che pensava di aver chiuso con gli uomini, si trova a lavorare con il magnetico designer Darren O’Connor, che mette in discussione il patto di fedeltà con Helena.

Een wereldselectie van vegetarische gerechten. Dit boek biedt vlees nog vis: steeds meer draait het in de wereld namelijk om groente en vruchten. Deze zijn immers gezond, veelzijdig en lekker. Bovendien kan door een vermindering van de vleesconsumptie meer grond beschikbaar komen voor landbouw. De auteur Troth Wells bezocht mensen en markten in Afrika, Azië, het Midden-Osten, het Caribisch gebied en Latijns Amerika. In 150 recepten laat zij ons delen in de beproefde kennis van vegetarisch gerechten die zij aantrof. Waar nodig zijn de recpten aangepast aan de Westerse keuken; gelukkig is dat de laaatste tijd minder nodig naarmate er meer groente- en fruitsoorten in het Westen bekend zijn geworden. Van alle markten is even kleurrijk, veelzijdig en fantasierijk als de vegetarische keuken zelf.
