FLAPPERS: WOMEN OF A DANGEROUS GENERATION

Book ID/图书代码： 00200013B63294

English Summary/英文概要： Glamorized, mythologized and demonized - the women of the 1920s prefigured the 1960s in their determination to reinvent the way they lived. Flappers is in part a biography of that restless generation: starting with its first fashionable acts of rebellion just before the Great War, and continuing through to the end of the decade when the Wall Street crash signal led another cataclysmic world change. It focuses on six women who between them exemplified the range and daring of that generation’s spirit. Diana Cooper, Nancy Cunard, Tallulah Bankhead, Zelda Fitzgerald, Josephine Baker and Tamara de Lempicka were far from typical flappers. Although they danced the Charleston, wore fashionable clothes and partied with the rest of their peers, they made themselves prominent among the artists, icons, and heroines of their age. Talented, reckless and wilful, with personalities that transcended their class and background, they re-wrote their destinies in remarkable, entertaining and tragic ways. And between them they blazed the trail of the New Woman around the world.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 20世纪20年代的女性，光彩夺目、神化和妖魔化，预示着60年代的女性，决心重塑生活的方式。《摩登女》是关乎那个无休年代的部分传记：以大战前首次反叛的时尚行为为开端，直到华尔街崩盘信号导致了另一个灾难性的世界变化的十年结束。关注的是6个女人之间的时代精神的范围和胆量。Diana Cooper，Nancy Cunard, Tallulah Bankhead, Zelda Fitzgerald, Josephine Baker和Tamara de Lempicka远非典型的摩登女。尽管他们跳查尔斯顿舞，穿着时尚的衣服，和其他同龄人参加聚会，她们能让自己在一群同龄的艺术家、骗子和女主人公中脱颖而出。才华横溢、鲁莽而人性的性格超越了他们的阶级和背景，他们以非凡的、娱乐性的、悲剧的方式改写了自己的命运。他们开辟了世界上的新女性轨迹。(LNL)

Awards/获奖情况：“《摩登女》非常好，有着肮脏的乐趣。Mackrell用欺骗性的轻轻一碰，成了有魅力的故事讲述人。”-----Cressida Connolly，《星期日电讯报》

“这是本闪烁的传记，Mackrell很擅长描绘这些女人生活中微妙复杂的景象，从令人眼花缭乱的高情绪到坚定固执，从情感脆弱到创意的焦点，把他们交织在一起对抗强大的背景。这本迷人的，优雅的书让人想起所有的美丽和活力，但从不回避痛苦的深渊。”----Caroline Jowett，《每日快报》

“Mackrell真正厉害之处在于将高度多样化的女人放置于“摩登女”的招牌下，向我们展示了年龄和不同个体的关系。”----Lesley McDowell，《周日独立报》

“Mackrell将这些强烈的生活与更广泛世界的丰富细节联系在一起。写作优美，将散文和狡猾的俏皮话及个人见解相融合，同时与所描述的迅速耗尽的生命保持同样的步调。”-----Kate Colquhoun，《星期日快报》
