Big Alma

San Francisco's Alma Spreckels
Jul 17, 2018SFBookAddict rated this title 3.5 out of 5 stars
An amazing rags to riches story. I enjoyed this biography about Alma de Bretteville Spreckels and learned a lot of new things about San Francisco. She had a big heart and was one tough broad. She did some notable charitable deeds and contributed greatly to the art world, despite the city's upper crust looking down on her. She didn't play by the rules and was quite an independent woman. I loved how she did her own thing and ruffled society's feathers. The author did a great job researching this book. I especially enjoyed the information she gathered from Alma's family members and friends.
