The "Roaring Twenties" constituted years of experimentation and freedom to test new techniques and lifestyles at a time affected by serious political changes leading to World War II. Their trajectories have left traces that can be mapped out, studied, and addressed today, a hundred years later. The volume revisits their experiences through various lenses that include art history, gender, fashion, literary analysis, psychology, philosophy, as well as film and food. The volume revisits the artistic, literary, and journalistic contributions of women worldwide, including France, as they flocked to Paris from the 1920s to 1940. The overall principle lies in the inclusion of female painters, visual artists, and writers from diverse international and national backgrounds. Scholars who participate in the volume explore the possibilities presented in a modern literary and artistic history while building on previous scholarship. Two seminal books and a documentary film inspire this project: Shari Benstock's 'Women of the Left Bank. Paris 1900-1940' (Texas UP 1986) and Andrea Weiss's 'Paris was a woman. Portraits from the Left Bank' (HarperSanFrancisco 1995), which in turn produced an eponymous film (Greta Schiller/Andrea Weiss 1996). These works highlight the community of women artists, editors and writers during the interwar years in Paris. There is scholarship in the area, although most of it is scattered in single monographs, crossing various genres, and various languages, from (recent) graphic novels, to fiction, biographical studies, cultural histories as well as scholarly artistic and literary studies."-- Vernnon Press. 650 0 $a Women artists $z Paris $z Paris $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Women authors $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Paris (France) $x Intellectual life $y 20th century. 700 1 $a Blum-Reid, Sylvie, $e editor. 830 0 $a Curating and interpreting culture 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240217011938.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=588C6D7ECD6211EE9507C16149ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
