"A work so rich in interest, so direct, revealing, and, above
all, thought-provoking that this reader found it the most
consistently exciting book of its kind to appear in many
years."-"The New York Times"
Bryher (1894-1985)-adventurer, novelist, publisher-flees
Victorian Britain for the raucous streets of Cairo and sultry
Parisian cafes. Amidst the intellectual circles of the twenties and
thirties, she develops relationships with Marianne Moore, Freud,
Paul Robeson, her longtime partner H.D., Stein, and others. This
compelling memoir reveals Bryher's exotic childhood, her impact on
modernism, and her sense of social justice-helping over 100 people
escape from the Nazis.
