Synopsis:
A poor black girl from St Louis, the 19-year-old Josephine Baker arrived in Paris in 1925. With her first appearance in "La Revue Negre" - naked, except for a skirt of feathers - she established herself as one of the legendary entertainers of the inter-war years and an outrageously potent symbol of sexuality. This biography examines her career as a major figure of 20th-century showbusiness and also as a civil rights campaigner, a French Resistance fighter and the mother of her "rainbow tribe" of adopted children. The author also wrote "Woman of Letters: A Life of Virginia Woolf" and "Parallel Lives: Five Victorian Marriages".
About the Author:

She has taught literature at the Wesleyn University since 1969, and has written essays, reviews, and articles for many publications. She lives in Middletown, Connecticut.
