Tells the fascinating story of the women of the 1920s who prefigured the 1960s in their determination to reinvent the way they lived. Starting with the flappers' first fashionable acts of rebellion just before the Great War, and continuing through to the end of the decade when the Wall Street Crash led to another cataclysmic world change, the book tells the story of this era through the eyes of six notorious flappers: Diana Cooper, Nancy Cunard, Tallulah Bankhead, Zelda Fitzgerald, Josephine Baker and Tamara de Lempicka.
