Summary: Slender volume but interesting look at a Cosmetics Legend
Review: The name Estee Lauder summons up images of wealth, privilege and beauty. From a handful of creams an empire encompassing lines such as Estee Lauder, Clinque and Prescriptives, Lauder for Men was built.

But is what is the truth behind the woman Estee Lauder? Lee Israel reveals the true Estee Lauder that the general public does not know. In combination with Lauder's own autobiography, a fascinating picture is revealed. A woman who does not acknowledge in her Jewish faith in public but is a devout follower in private. A woman who exerts an iron control to keep her company in private family hands.

For anyone who has used any Estee Lauder product, the story of the woman behind the bottles, tubes, pencils and potions is a must read.
