Lesbians' crucial role in fostering Modernism.

If you're intrigued by the interplay of sexuality and cultural movements, "No Modernism Without Lesbians" is a compelling read. Souhami captures an overlooked narrative, spotlighting the women whose passion and patronage helped shape an entire artistic era. It's not just a glimpse into the Modernist movement; it's a homage to the bold lives of women who dared to love differently and openly in a time that tried to silence them.

Description

WINNER OF THE POLARI BOOK PRIZE This is the extraordinary story of how a singular group of women in a pivotal time and place – Paris, between the wars – fostered the birth of the Modernist movement. Sylvia Beach, Bryher, Natalie Barney, and Gertrude Stein. A trailblazing publisher; a patron of artists; a society hostess; a groundbreaking writer. They were all women who loved women. They rejected the patriarchy and made lives of their own – forming a community around them in Paris. Each of these four central women interacted with a myriad of others, some of the most influential, most entertaining, most shocking and most brilliant figures of the age. Diana Souhami weaves together their stories to create a vivid moving tapestry of life among the Modernists in pre-war Paris.
