Description: Annemarie Schwarzenbach was one of the twentieth century's most remarkable women possibly the greatest sexual and political radical of the 1930s. But until now she's been largely ignored. Born to a wealthy family in Switzerland as a teenager she rebelled against her domineering pro - Nazi mother. She immersed herself in the antifascist queer and artistic circles of the German diaspora of the 1930s. Her edgy glamour and androgynous beauty turned heads in the lesbian nightclubs of Weimar Berlin on the ski slopes of St. Moritz and in New York's luxury hotels and jazz bars. Constantly on the move Annemarie chronicled the low and dishonest decade leading to war through her unique journalism writing and photography. Her work was as adventurous and uncompromising as her personal life and reveals a deep courage intelligence and ambition tragically curtailed by her untimely death.
