200425658New York:: Doubleday 2004. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine bright unclipped dust jacket. In BOBBED HAIR AND BATHTUB GIN Marion Meade presents a portrait of four extraordinary writers--Dorothy Parker Zelda Fitzgerald Edna St. Vincent Millay and Edna Ferber--whose loves lives and literary endeavors embodied the spirit of the 1920s. Capturing the jazz rhythms and desperate gaiety that defined the era Meade gives us Parker Fitzgerald Millay and Ferber traces the intersections of their lives and describes the men F. Scott Fitzgerald Edmund Wilson Harold Ross and Robert Benchley who influenced them loved them and sometimes betrayed them. Here are the social and literary triumphs Parker's Round Table witticisms appeared almost daily in the newspapers and Ferber and Millay won Pulitzer Prizes and inevitably the penances each paid: crumbled love affairs abortions depression lost beauty nervous breakdowns and finally overdoses and even madness. These literary heroines did what they wanted said what they thought living wholly in the moment. They kicked open the door for twentieth-century women writers and set a new model for every woman trying to juggle the serious issues of economic independence political power and sexual freedom. Meade recreates the excitement romance and promise of the 1920s a decade celebrated for cultural innovation--the birth of jazz the beginning of modernism--and social and sexual liberation bringing to light as well the anxiety and despair that lurked beneath the nonstop partying and outrageous behavior.

1983WALTER-FILM004116Vintage original 30 x 20" 76 x 51 cm. double crown poster UK. Honey Adele Bertei dir: Lizzie Borden; Cinema of Women. London: Cinema of Women 1983. Folded as issued with small tears marginal chips and signs of light handling VERY GOOD-. <br /><br /> An exceedingly scarce poster from a landmark film in 1980s LGBTQ and African American film history. ""A documentary-style feminist fiction film by Lizzie Borden that explores racism classism sexism and heterosexism in an alternative United States socialist democracy.<br /><br />"<i>The plot concerns two feminist groups in New York City each voicing their concerns to the public by pirate radio. One group led by an outspoken white lesbian Isabel Adele Bertei operates 'Radio Ragazza'. The other group led by a soft-spoken African-American Honey Honey operates 'Phoenix Radio. 'The local community is stimulated into action after a world-traveling political activist Adelaide Norris Jean Satterfield is arrested upon arriving at a New York City airport and suspiciously dies while in police custody. Also there is a Women's Army led by Hilary Hurst Hilary Hurst and advised by Zella Flo Kennedy that initially both Honey and Isabel refuse to join. This group along with Norris and the radio stations are under investigation by a callous FBI agent Ron Vawter. Their progress is tracked by three editors Becky Johnston Pat Murphy Kathryn Bigelow for a socialist newspaper who go so far they get fired</i>.<br /><br />"<i>The story involves several different women coming from different perspectives and attempts to show several examples of how sexism plays out on the street and how it can be dealt with through direct action. At one point two men attack a woman on the street and dozens of women on bicycles with whistles come to chase the men away and comfort the woman. The movie shows women despite their various differences organizing in meetings doing radio shows creating art wheatpasting putting a condom on a penis wrapping raw chicken at a processing plant etc. The film portrays a world rife with violence against women high female unemployment and government oppression. The women in the film start to come together to make a bigger impact by means that some would call terrorism</i>.<br /><br />"<i>Ultimately after both radio stations are suspiciously burned down Honey and Isabel team up and broadcast 'Phoenix Ragazza Radio' from stolen U-Haul vans. They also join the Women's Army which sends a group of terrorists to interrupt a broadcast of the President of the United States proposing that women be paid to do housework followed by bombing the antenna on top of the World Trade Center to prevent additionally destructive messages from the mainstream</i>.<br /><br />"<i>Greg Baise of the </i>Metro Times<i> called it 'an early '80s landmark of indie and queer cinema.' The film has had experienced somewhat of a renaissance after the 35mm restoration print premiered in 2016 at the Anthology Film Archives. Richard Brody of </i>The New Yorker<i> wrote 'the free ardent spontaneous creativity of Born in Flames emerges as an indispensable mode of radical change -- one that many contemporary filmmakers with political intentions have yet to assimilate.' He also wrote 'Borden's exhilarating collage-like story stages news reports documentary sequences and surveillance footage alongside tough action scenes and musical numbers; her violent vision is both ideologically complex and chilling.' Melissa Anderson of </i>The Village Voice<i> wrote 'this unruly unclassifiable film -- perhaps the sole entry in the hybrid genre of radical-lesbian-feminist sci-fi vérité -- premiered two years into the Reagan regime but its fury proves as bracing today as it was back when this country began its inexorable shift to the right</i>.'"

416 pages including bibliography and index. Acknowledges that the province on the far left of the map has always been a pretty strange place, but it also tells a serious story of touchy race relations, heroic men and women, and the kind of romance that makes sensible people want to write books. It's a new kind of history - intensely personal, impeccably researched, intentionally provocative, unexpectedly spiritual, and laugh-out-loud funny - that encourages us to question received wisdom and ponder the elusiveness of history. Book clean and unmarked with moderate wear and slight lean to spine. Dust jacket with closed tear to top of back panel and moderate edgewear with one or two chips missing. Solid copy. Book
