Josephine Baker was an african american singer dancer back then . She was almost beat to death in the racist US around that time . She went to Paris and she was the toast of the town . She was courted by princes and aristocrats . If memory serves, she stayed in Paris during ww2 and was part of the French resistance against the Nazis . She also adopted orphaned children who lost their parents in the war .
those people absolutely lived inside one of the most interesting cultures and during one of the best time periods ever.
Just discovered this. Pure gold.
Thank you for posting this. This period has always fascinated me and sadly will never come again.
If time travel were possible, this is when I'd go.
Wonderful, thank you
