Society's rules? Who needs them! A queen of reinvention, Lola Montez was a woman ahead of her time. Captivating audiences with her famous Spider Dance, Lola earned admirers, enemies, and more than a few scandals as she conquered Europe, America, and Australia. In her short life, she became a Countess, convinced a king to abdicate, and rubbed elbows with Europe's brightest talent. 

Come along with us as we explore Lola's journey to define a life on her terms, no matter the odds, through history and astrology.
