Episode 234: Hoes of History: Alma Mahler

Alma Maria Mahler Gropius Werfel was a composer, socialite, and a bit unhinged. Pathological cruelty, antisemitism, vanity and a sense that the world owed Alma Maria Schindler something in token for her brilliance and beauty were some of the traits her admirers and enemies alike recognised in Alma (from theguardian.com). She was married three times to different artists and had impressionable moments with other notable men, which all led to her being a well-known femme fatale. She always wanted to be around creative geniuses and that actually led her to America where she became a cultural icon. Her life wasn't easy though. She lost multiple children and her first husband to illness. Although, that didn't stop her from thinking that it was her way or noway. So much so that she influenced and altered history in a way that has been labled, "The Alma Problem."
