"""A brilliantly entertaining and enlightening study of New York in the early twentieth century, a time when a diverse group of female artists, poets and patrons joyfully dismantled the limits society had set them--and created something new and wondrous in the process.""--Jennifer Higgie, writer, art critic, and author of ""The Other Side: A Journey into Women, Art and the Spirit World"" ""We should stand up and salute this astoundingly far-reaching and delightfully detailed history of the salons, exhibitions, groupings, and individual histories of avant-garde artists. Whalen illuminates the distinct moments essential to this panorama. A radical exposition of radical women.""--Mary Ann Caws, author of ""Creative Gatherings: Meeting Places of Modernism"" and ""Mina Loy: Apology of Genius"""
