The Cramoisy Queen: A Life of Caresse Crosby (repost)

The Cramoisy Queen: A Life of Caresse Crosby by Linda Hamalian
English | November 30, 2005 | ISBN-10: 0809318652 | 296 pages | PDF | 10,4 MB

Caresse Crosby rejected the culturally prescribed roles of women of her era and background in search of an independent, creative, and socially responsible life. Poet, memoirist, advocate of women’s rights and the peace movement, Crosby published and promoted modern writers and artists such as Hart Crane, Dorothy Parker, Salvador Dali, and Romare Bearden. She also earned a place in the world of fashion by patenting one of the earliest versions of the brassiere.
