Glamorised, mythologised and demonised, the women of the 1920s prefigured the 1960s in their determination to reinvent the way they lived. This is in part a biography of that restless generation: starting with its first fashionable acts of rebellion just before the Great War, and continuing through to the end of the decade when the Wall Street crash signal led another cataclysmic world change. It focuses on six women who between them exemplified the range and daring of that generation's spirit, women who, in their very different ways, epitomise the decade in which they came of age, the 1920s. 600 10 $a Cooper, Diana, $d 1892-1986. 600 10 $a Cunard, Nancy, $d 1896-1965. 600 10 $a Bankhead, Tallulah, $d 1902-1968. 600 10 $a Fitzgerald, Zelda, $d 1900-1948. 600 10 $a Baker, Josephine, $d 1906-1975. 600 10 $a Lempicka, Tamara de, $d 1898-1980. 650 0 $a Women $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Celebrities $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Artists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women $z United States $x Social life and customs $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Sex customs $z United States. $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Sex role $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Popular culture $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 941 $a 1 952 $l MMPE553 $d 20180719042555.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B08E3214BF4711E5B286A9D6DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
