The Gilded Age Season 2

The "Gilded Age" was a period of great economic change, a period of great wealth being created and lost, and a period of fierce competition among the wealthy and wealthy. The second season begins on Easter morning in 1883, when Bertha Russell learns that her bid for a box at the New York Opera House has been rejected. Bertha will challenge Mrs. Astor and the old system as she not only strives to gain a foothold in high society, but may also take a leadership role within it. George Russell had his own battle, facing the growing union at his steel plant in Pittsburgh. Over at the Brook family, Marian secretly teaches in a girls' school and continues her journey of finding her own path, and to everyone's surprise, Ada begins a new love affair. Of course, Agnes didn't take this seriously. In Brooklyn, the Scott family slowly recovers from their shocking discovery, and Peggy channels her activist spirit through her collaboration with T. Thomas Fortune at the New York Globe.
