I was looking forward to reading this one about the Roaring Twenties - one of the most interesting periods of the twentieth century. The six women featured were fascinating subjects, unfortunately the book itself was rather boring. Rating: 2 ⭐️

Exactly the kind of history book I love! I recommend SO much for anyone interested in the 20s. Academic but readable, emotional, and very well structured. I loved learning more about Zelda Fitzgerald (who I must read more about now), Josephine Baker and Tallulah Bankhead, and the other women I hadn‘t heard of before were just as interesting. I often find history very dry but this was so good.

Research! Interesting that this book traces the emergence of #flappers from the early 1910s. I'd always thought flappers didn't come into being until the 1920s. #historical #research

Lesliereads Same here! 8y

JazzFeathers The Twenties were their times, but the 'movement'actually started with their mothers. Not the attitude, but certainly the thinking ^_^ 8y

SaraRosett @JazzFeathers: I didn't realize. I learn something every day. :) 8y
