“The book is beautifully structured…[a] reader-friendly history, adorned with fascinating details…Ms. Mackrell doesn’t force theories. She lays out the lives with a deft strategy of parallels and overlaps so that connections and comparisons float up.”
Wall Street Journal
Glamorized, mythologized, and demonized—the women of the 1920s prefigured the 1960s in their determination to reinvent the way they lived. Flappers is in part a biography of that restless generation: it focuses on six women who exemplified the range and daring of that generation’s spirit.
Diana Cooper, Nancy Cunard, Tallulah Bankhead, Zelda Fitzgerald, Josephine Baker, and Tamara de Lempicka were far from typical flappers. Talented, reckless, and willful, with personalities that transcended their class and background, they rewrote their destinies in remarkable, entertaining, and tragic ways.
