"Denise Von Glahn's intricately researched new book deftly explains and exposes the inner workings of a culturally influential old boy's network--one we think we know, but of which we actually still know too little--and reveals the potential advantages and disadvantages that this set of circumstances brought about. Circle of Winners is a timely historical narrative within our current moment of cultural reckoning."--Amy C. Beal, author of Johanna Beyer
