Diana Souhami, "No Modernism Without Lesbians" (Head of Zeus Book, 2020)


Listen Later

Diana Souhami talks about her new book No Modernism Without Lesbiansout 2020 with Head of Zeus books.

A Sunday Times Book of the Year 2020. This is the extraordinary story of how a singular group of women in a pivotal time and place – Paris, between the wars – fostered the birth of the Modernist movement. Sylvia Beach, Bryher, Natalie Barney, and Gertrude Stein. A trailblazing publisher; a patron of artists; a society hostess; a groundbreaking writer. They were all women who loved women. They rejected the patriarchy and made lives of their own – forming a community around them in Paris. Each of these four central women interacted with a myriad of others, some of the most influential, most entertaining, most shocking and most brilliant figures of the age. Diana Souhami weaves together their stories to create a vivid moving tapestry of life among the Modernists in pre-war Paris.

Jana Byars is the Academic Director of Netherlands: International Perspectives on Sexuality and Gender.
