Born into poverty in 1906, Josephine Baker grew up to live an extraordinary life: Broadway star, a spy for the French cause during World War II, and dedicated champion of racial equality. Baker's charm, passion, wit and intelligence characterize this autobiography which also contains the voices of some of her famous friends, lovers, and colleagues. Photos.

🔊🎧Married twice by the age of fifteen and she left #2 a Pullman Porter for New York to follow her dream. I'm just in shock at her drive, determination, and just sheer grit she had at such a young age.

Hemingway bragged he danced with her while she was naked in a fur coat, Picasso used her as a muse, and she was just getting started.

hermyknee Cool podcast! @Rayleemcv do you listen to this one? If not, you should! 7y
Jess_Read_This @hermyknee @Rayleemcv I'm obsessed with their podcast! I'm going to be in a sad state when I'm all caught up on episodes and have to wait for new ones. They have greatly increased the amount of biographies being added to my TBR list. ❤️ (edited) 7y
