Rebekah Harkness

Calling all Swifties and History Nerds! You won't want to miss this episode about the muse for Last Great American Dynasty by Taylor Swift. Rebekah Harkness was a 1900s socialite and it is a crazy story that includes the entire Harkness family from her ancestors to her four husbands to her children. Trigger warning: there is talk about mental health and suicide in relation to some of their stories.
