This revelatory biography of Folies-Bergere dance Josephine Baker (1906-1975) is a study of struggle, triumph, and tragedy. Abandoned at birth, she battled racism, poverty, and sexism to become an international star.

The tagged is this month‘s read for the LGBTQ+ book club I am a part of. The meeting is today and I‘m only about 1/3 of the way through. It is a slough. A lot of prior knowledge is assumed. It could be made so much better with a “cast” list. I‘m digging in while I wait for my partner‘s dissertation defense. We‘ll see how far I get. At least it‘s taking all my focus and making me a bit less anxious as a result.
