  The wife of robber-baron Russell Sage, Olivia Sage took on the mantle of active, reforming womanhood in New York voluntary associations. When Russell Sage died in 1906, he left her a vast fortune. Sage used the money to fund a spectrum of progressive reforms. This biography is about a ruling-class woman who became a major American philanthropist.
