Erica Jong of course I knew, but not so Annemarie Scharzenbach. I had fun reading about her, what a fascinating, and tragic through her addiction, life.

Holy smokes! I knew Erica Jong was born Mann, and I assumed she was born Erika too, but you are right, totally wrong person! I just did an image search...

And now I see her in your follow-up post.

The 20s were a fantastic time, especially for the avant-garde.

I find it bewildering that almost a century later society still maintains many of the same challenges that your impossible girls (and boys) struggled against.

Quite remarkable, and sad.
