Description

The 1920s were a time of great change and liberation for young women. They dared to be different, to challenge traditional norms and expectations. For six remarkable individuals - Diana Cooper, Nancy Cunard, Tallulah Bankhead, Zelda Fitzgerald, Josephine Baker and Tamara de Lempicka - this spirit of adventure and self-expression was a defining feature of their lives. These women were not just flappers, but artists, icons and heroines who pursued experience in ways that few others could imagine. With personalities that transcended their class and background, they re-wrote their destinies in remarkable and often tragic ways. Their stories are a testament to the power of individuality and the enduring legacy of the New Woman. Between them, these six women blazed a trail around the world, leaving an indelible mark on art, culture and society. This book tells their story, a story of talent, recklessness and wilfulness that continues to captivate us today.
