This was the age of the dance craze and the gender - bending Flapper who inspired the creation of the Gargoyle club a nocturnal hunting ground for Femmes Fatales. Meanwhile London's Bohemia was ruled by the Queen of Clubs Kate Meyrick; the taboo - breaking Tiger Woman Betty May; the original Chelsea Girl Viva King; the artist Nina Hamnett; the Euston Road Venus Sonia Orwell; and Isabel Rawsthorne artist spy pornographer model and muse to name but a few. Using previously unpublished memoirs and interviews Queens of Bohemia creates a soundscape of voices that gives the reader a taste of their world so exotic and yet often wracked with despair. It offers a unique insight into a generation of women for whom ideals of duty and self - sacrifice had been debunked by the horrors of war and whose morality resided in being true to one's self as they took their struggle for freedom into the wider world and learned to value their individuality along the way.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Queens Of Bohemia And Other Miss - Fits\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Coffield Darren\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: The History Press Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781803995748\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 22 Illustrations, Black And White\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 3\/18\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Gender Studies: Women","brand":"Coffield Darren","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51368755921201,"sku":"IN-G-9781803995748","price":29.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781803995748.jpg?v=1747558615","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781803995748-queens-of-bohemia-and-other-miss-fits","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
