Natalie Dykstra, author of "Chasing Beauty: The Life of Isabella Stewart Gardner" will present a Joint Event with Salem Athenaeum and Hamilton Hall at 9 Chestnut Street, Salem, MA.

Dykstra's new biography reveals the story of Gardener, the complex and singular woman behind one of the most fascinating museums in the world— a tale of beauty and loss, grit and American self-invention.
Born in 1840 to a privileged New York family, Isabella Stewart married Boston Brahmin Jack Gardner (son of Catherine Peabody Gardner of Salem!) as she turned twenty. She was misunderstood by Boston’s insular society and suffered the death of her only child, a beloved boy, not yet two years old.
