520    "Alma Mahler died in New York City in 1964, at the age of 
       85. The New York Times ran an obituary that described her 
       as a woman whose "intellect ... complimented her beauty." 
       The obituary was something of a scandal: spicy, racy, 
       naming the names of Alma's lovers, dredging up her secret 
       affairs, and-in tone-passing judgment on this woman who 
       had the audacity to be attracted to, and attractive to, 
       men of genius. Since then, history has passed judgement on
       Alma, accusing her of being unworthy of her most famous 
       husband Gustav Mahler. Now, for the first time, historian 
       Cate Haste uses Alma's own diaries to set the record 
       straight. Born in Vienna in 1879, Alma was an artist among
       artists-a talented musician who dreamed of being a 
       composer and the first woman to write a famous opera. 
       Passionate, romantic, and brilliant, Alma was stifled by 
       society everywhere she turned. Eventually, she put her own
       dreams aside, and grabbed at power and influence through 
       the only avenue available to her-supporting the art of 
       more famous men. Alma Mahler's first love was painter 
       Gustav Klimt. Her first husband was composer Gustav Mahler,
       followed by architect Walter Gropius, and then writer 
       Franz Werfel. In and out of Alma's life, salon, and bed 
       passed the great men of Europe in the late 19th and early 
       20th century-she was courted by opera singer Erik Schmedes,
       artist Oskar Kokoshka, and scientist Paul Kammerer; she 
       drove Mahler to such despair that he consulted with 
       Sigmund Freud, and she ran in the same circles as H.G. 
       Wells, Sinclair Lewis, Francis Poulenc, Thomas Mann, Max 
       Reinhardt, and Erich Remarque. Alma dedicated herself to 
       nurturing the genius of the glittering men around her at 
       the expense of her own artistic dreams"--|cProvided by
