What was The Gilded Age?
The Gilded Age was a period in U.S. history from roughly the 1870s to about 1900, marked by rapid economic growth, industrialization, and stark social contrasts. The term was coined by writers Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner in their 1873 novel The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today, which satirized the greed and political corruption of the era.
Plot

“Bertha sets her sights on a prize that would elevate the family to unimaginable heights while George risks everything on a gambit that could revolutionize the railroad industry — if it doesn’t ruin him first,” the synopsis reveals. Meanwhile, “across the street, the Brook household is thrown into chaos as Agnes refuses to accept Ada’s new position as lady of the house.”
