The roaring, riotous 1920s seem to have been created for biographers. In recent years, the tempestuous lives of several prominent Jazz Age writers have attracted even more interest than their works. The four female authors featured in this entertaining work (Zelda Fitzgerald, Dorothy Parker, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and Edna Ferber) have all been the subjects of first-rate individual biographies, but author Marion Meade has created an equally compelling book by weaving together their stories. The roaring, riotous 1920s seem to have been created for biographers. In recent years, the tempestuous lives of several prominent Jazz Age writers have attracted even more interest than their works. The four female authors featured in this entertaining work (Zelda Fitzgerald, Dorothy Parker, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and Edna Ferber) have all been the subjects of first-rate individual biographies, but author Marion Meade has created an equally compelling book by weaving together their stories. She doesn't neglect their various husbands, lovers, and male muses; but the emphasis is clearly on these gifted, fervent, sometimes frantic feminists.
