We meet Lady Diana Cooper, whose coterie included some of the most influential intellectuals and aristocrats of the time; Nancy Cunard, the steamship heiress; Tallulah Bankhead, the politically outspoken actress; Zelda Fitzgerald, whose tumultuous relationship with F. Scott was often tabloid fodder; Josephine Baker, the African American dancer, singer, and actress who relinquished her citizenship and moved to France; and Tamara de Lempicka, the Polish-born art deco painter. These women were far from typical flappers--they made themselves prominent among the artists, icons, and heroines of their age. Talented, reckless, and willful, with personalities that transcended their class and background, they rewrote their destinies in remarkable, entertaining, and tragic ways."--www.Amazon.com. 600 10 Cooper, Diana,|d1892-1986. 600 10 Cunard, Nancy,|d1896-1965. 600 10 Bankhead, Tallulah,|d1902-1968. 600 10 Fitzgerald, Zelda,|d1900-1948. 600 10 Baker, Josephine,|d1906-1975. 600 10 Lempicka, Tamara de,|d1898-1980. 650 0 Women|vBiography. 650 0 Celebrities|vBiography. 650 0 Artists|vBiography. 650 0 Women|xSocial life and customs|y20th century. 650 0 Sex customs|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Sex role|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Popular culture|xHistory|y20th century.
