{"product_id":"1565123816","title":"All-Night Party: The Women of Bohemian Greenwich Village and Harlem, 1913-1930","description":"\n\n\u003cp\u003eArt and culture critic Barnet recounts the exploits of the free- spirited bohemian women of New York City during the period 1913-1930. Coverage includes (for example) salon hostess Louise Arensberg, modern dance pioneer Isadora Duncan, birth control advocate Margaret Sanger, and blues singer Bessie Smith. The material in this volume was originally published in 2001 in German translation under the title \u003ci\u003eCrazy New York: Die Frauen von Harlem und Greenwich Village\u003c\/i\u003e by Edition Ebersbach, Berlin. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR\u003c\/p\u003e The New Yorker \u003cp\u003eWe all know that Edna St. Vincent Millay burned her candle at both ends, but not necessarily that she spoke baby talk to her husband. This series of short biographies is a case-history candy box. The poet Mina Loy is shown in all her beauty and reckless flamboyance, abandoning two children in Italy, having a third in England and then parking it with the earlier two, and ending up on the Bowery, making sculptures out of egg crates and clothespins. This eclectic assortment of the daring, the devastating, and the derelict includes hostesses like Mabel Dodge and A’Lelia Walker, singers like Ethel Waters, and the editors of the Little Review. Barnet paints her subjects as pioneering feminists in revolt against established mores, though, arguably, money was almost as important as a spur to eccentricity; it is instructive that the collective good times came to an end with the crash of 1929.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiographies \u0026amp; Memoirs\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eUnited States\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommunity \u0026amp; Culture\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eWomen\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistory\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eUnited States\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorld\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eWomen in History\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Social Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWomen's Studies\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBook details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barnet, Andrea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Illustrated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Algonquin Books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781565123816\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Algonquin Books","offers":[{"title":"Used - Poor","offer_id":49283216408766,"sku":"1565123816-6","price":4.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/81lbXTQ33QL.jpg?v=1791962270","url":"https:\/\/shop.sustainablebooks.com\/products\/1565123816","provider":"Sustainable Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
