Description
Natalie Barney came to Paris from America in 1894, a young woman possessed of beauty, brilliance, wealth. She was also the most notorious lesbian of her age.
She attracted the admiration of leading men of letters of the day, commanded a salon that became a center of cultural life, and herself made life and conversation a delightful form of art.
But the heart of Natalie Barney's life centered in a different area. For Natalie was not only a pioneering feminist, she was an insatiable, immensely skillful desuctress whose list of female conquests was extraordinary both for quality and quantity.
Now for the first time her full story is told. - from Amzon
