Hello! In this Episode of It's a History Podcast I take a look at one of the lesser known ladies from the Gilded Age. Marietta Stevens was a woman who started her adult life as a chamber maid in a hotel, who went on to marry the hotel owner and climb her way up the social ladder through some not so typical means. Marietta made a name for herself.
