Summary

A poor black girl from St Louis, the 19-year-old Josephine Baker arrived in Paris in 1925. This biography examines her career as a major figure of 20th-century showbusiness and also as a civil rights campaigner, a French Resistance fighter and the mother of her "rainbow tribe" of adopted children.

Jazz Cleopatra Summary

Jazz Cleopatra: Josephine Baker in Her Time by Phyllis Rose

A poor black girl from St. Louis, the nineteen-year-old Josephine Baker, arrives in Paris in 1925; and with her first appearance in 'La Revue Negre' - wearing only a skirt of feathers - she established herself as an outrageously potent symbol of sexuality and became an international star.
