Loss Child No Onna Tachi / Original Title: the WOMEN of ROTHSCHILD

[Machine Translation] The Rothschilds emerged in the nineteenth century, built a financial empire, and enjoyed tremendous influence. This book depicts the history of the family from the female side, which has been told mainly by men. On the one hand, these brilliant women, who were active in politics, economics, and culture, were troubled by family rules, political marriages, and the customs of Jewish society, and on the other hand, they agonized over unfulfilled love, their own lives, and relationships with their husbands. This is a magnificent picture scroll of people who walked earnestly through the course of history.
