Summary of Paulina Bren's The Barbizon

Sinopse

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.Sample Book Insights: #1 The New Woman was a woman who wanted independence and liberation from everything that weighed her down. She could be seen pedaling down the street in her bloomers and billowing shirtsleeves on the way to somewhere.#2 Molly Brown was a survivor of the Titanic disaster, and she used her status to raise money for the survivors. She had separated from her husband, J. J. Brown, a few years prior, and she had become a feminist, child-protection advocate, and unionizer.#3 Molly Brown was not a flapper, but she did have an antipathy towards the flappers of the Jazz Age, who seemed to define themselves by one single hard-won victory: sexual liberation. She chose to stay at the Barbizon Club-Residence for Women in New York because she wanted to test out different versions of herself.#4 The Barbizon Hotel, where Molly stayed, was a Gothic-style building with studios for its budding artists. The front entrance was on Sixty-Third Street, while the ground-floor shops were on the Lexington Avenue side of the corner building.
