That Furious Lesbian by Robert A Schanke
Using archival materials and interviews with those who knew her, Robert A. Shanke corrects the myths and creates a vibrant portrait of author, poet and playwright Mercedes de Acosta. Born to wealthy Spanish immigrants, her romances were infamous in her lifetime, but her work was little known.
"A gripping good read... Robert A. Schanke, much informed by his previous work on Eva Le Gallienne, conducted exhaustive research on his subject's millieu. As a result, this book also sheds new light on the biographies of dozens of other renowned women of the era - Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Alla Nazimova, Ona Munson, Romaine Brooks, and Eva Le Gallienne, to name a few." -Fellcia Hardison Londre, University of Missouri-Kansas City
