About this title

Review:

"Impressively researched, copiously illustrated, and a refreshingly 'good read.'; [An] exceptional volume about a literary
figure and art patron who was one of the world's most complex and all-to human women."--Joyce Beckenstein"Women's Art Journal" (05/01/2015)

"May be the most candid, thoughtful and extensive biography [Stein] will ever get."--Wall Street Journal (08/30/2011)

"The book can be seen as a life in pictures, or a visual biography, collecting and analyzing an impressively large array of portraits of (if not by) Stein."--Times Literary Supplement (TLS) (04/13/2012)

"Argues persuasively that Stein continues to challenge sexual, cultural, and racial norms--and to inspire creative projects."--Biography (07/24/2012)

"California educators deciding how to meet the state's new requirements to include . . . gay Americans in history curricula could strike gold by digging into. . . Gertrude Stein's life and times."-- (09/30/2011)

"[The book contains] assiduous research, careful selection and confident discussion. . . . Uniquely gratifying."-- (01/14/2013)
