Krátky popis
AS HEARD ON RADIO 4 WOMAN'S HOUR'Captivating ... a brilliant
many-layered social history of women's ambition and a rapidly
changing New York' Observer'A fascinating look at a piece of
forgotten female history' Sunday Times'A treat, elegantly spinning
a forgotten story of female liberation, ambition and
self-invention' Guardian'A deeply researched history, leavened with
gossip ... offers a full sweep of the changing status of American
women in the twentieth century' TLSWELCOME TO THE BARBIZON, NEW
YORK'S PREMIER WOMEN-ONLY HOTELBuilt in 1927 as a home for the
'Modern Woman' seeking a career in the arts, the Barbizon became
the place to stay for ambitious, independent women, who were lured
by the promise of fame and good fortune.Sylvia Plath fictionalized
her time there in The Bell Jar, and over the years, its 688 tiny
floral 'highly feminine boudoirs' also housed Joan Crawford, Grace
Kelly (notorious for sneaking in men), Joan Didion, Candice Bergen,
Charlie's Angel Jaclyn Smith, Ali MacGraw, Cybil Shepherd, Elaine
Stritch, Liza Minnelli, Eudora Welty, The Cosby Show's Phylicia
Rashad, Grey Gardens's Edith Bouvier Beale, and writers Mona
Simpson and Ann Beattie, among many others. Mademoiselle boarded
its summer interns there - perfectly turned-out young women, who
would never be spotted hatless - as did Katherine Gibbs Secretarial
School its students - in their white-gloves and kitten heels - and
the Ford Modelling Agency its young models. THE BARBIZON is a
colourful, glamorous portrait of the lives of the young women, who
-- from the Jazz Age New Women of the 1920s to the Liberated Women
of the 1960s -- came to New York looking for something more.'The
story of the Barbizon is in many ways the story of American women
in the twentieth century' Economist 'Illuminating . . .this vivid,
well researched account is testament to its vibrant history and the
women who made it such a powerhouse' Daily Express
