High Style in the Gilded Age: Millicent Rogers

- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- The twelfth and final lecture on women of the Gilded Age in Southampton goes into detail about the life of Millicent Rogers. Strong-willed, though physically fragile, Millicent Rogers has a conflicted relationship with her father, Standard Oil heir Colonel Henry Huddleston Rogers Jr. As a young woman she is strikingly beautiful, has her own unique style, and revels in the free-spirited behavior of the flapper. Her behavior seems designed to upset her father, though the world admires her chic and establishes her as a fashion icon.

I was curator at the Millicent Rogers Museum in Taos in the 1980s. It's an absolute jewel worth seeking out if you are in northern New Mexico. To answer one question, all of Millicent's sons are now deceased, but the children of her son Paul Peralta-Ramos are very active in the Taos museum. Grandson Philip is a mountain climber and adventure tour leader living in Colorado, and granddaughters Christina and Isabella both live in New Mexico and might be called fashionistas, like their grandma.
As an update for everyone...she did die in Taos nearly making her 51st birthday, she had been an invalid for nearly a year due to her heart condition, she would die after a necessary surgery for a clot on the brain. In a letter to her son that same year, she knows she is nearing the end and does not know the finances or life she once did but had found peace and beauty in the land and people of Taos Mexico. She led an absolutely amazing life.
I had the pleasure to visit millicent Rogers' house in Taos, NM. It is now a wonderful museum...
I wish she was someone I could have known. It’s so interesting how women and the idea of femininity evolved among the “Gilded Age” crowd. In all of your presentations on this topic, I have been left wanting information on how the lives of their children and grandchildren unfolded. Thank you so much.
