A new biography of Alma Mahler (1879-1964), revealing a woman determined to wield power in a world that denied her agencyHistory has long vilified Alma Mahler. Critics accused her of distracting Gustav Mahler from his work, and her passionate love affairs shocked her peers. Drawing on Alma's vivid, sensual, and overlooked diaries, biographer Cate Haste recounts the untold and far more sympathetic story of this ambitious and talented woman. Though she dreamed of being the first woman to compose a famous opera, Alma was stifled by traditional social values. Eventually, she put her own dreams aside and wielded power and influence the only way she could, by supporting the art of more famous men. She worked alongside them and gained credit as their muse, commanding their love and demanding their respect.
Passionate Spirit restores vibrant humanity to a woman time turned into a caricature, providing an important correction to a history where systemic sexism has long erased women of talent.

Awesome product
Size: King, Color: Navy Blue
From this point forward, this is the only company that I would use. All is one color, and not having the white fabric in the middle is a bonus!

Nice dark blue color
Size: Twin, Color: Navy Blue
Bought 2 dark blue for twin beds and they look good with my blue and white quilts covering the beds. There are some wrinkles in the cloth due to packaging which may relax with time. but don't show much due to the dark color. I did find any defects in the stitching or fabric on the items I purchased.
A note for prospective buyers is that the dust ruffle covers the entire bed foundation, so get help to put on under a heavy mattress.

Lightweight, Easy to Install, and Holds Up Well
Size: Full, Color: Black
This bed skirt has been a great purchase. It’s very lightweight, which actually made it super easy to put on the bed without a struggle. Once in place, it looks nice and does exactly what it’s supposed to do.
It’s also held up well to my almost-teenager being a little reckless at times, no tearing or issues so far. For the price, it’s definitely a good value.
Overall, simple, functional, and worth it if you need a clean finished look for your bed.
