Description

Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas were major cultural figures in 1920s Paris, photographed by Man Ray and Cecil Beaton, painted by Picasso, and written about by Hemingway. Alice was convinced from her first meeting with Gertrude that she was in the presence of genius, and dedicated herself to seeing Gertrude get the recognition that genius deserved.

User reviews

LibraryThing member Anne_Green
This account of the two women's lives, which focuses primarily on their time together, reads a little erratically, but provides a wealth of information on the tempestuous times in which they lived.
