Often called the “Queen of Chicago,” Bertha Honoré Palmer led a life as fascinating as the city she helped shape. Historian Laurie Russell explores Palmer’s enduring influence on the World’s Columbian Exposition, her role in bringing Impressionism to the Art Institute, and her unexpected final chapter as a Florida cattle rancher.
