She was the most peculiar common denominator that society, literature, art and radical revolutionaries ever found in New York and Europe. So claimed a Chicago newspaper reporter in the 1920s of Mabel Dodge Luhan, who attracted leading literary and intellectual figures to her circle for over four decades. Not only was she mistress of a grand salon, an American Madame de Stael, she was also a leading symbol of the New Woman: sexually emancipated, self-determining, and in control of her destiny.

She shows us a mover and shaker of the modern world whose struggles with identity, sexuality, and manic depression speak to the lives of many...

Mabel Dodge Luhan's Intimate Memories offers the brilliantly edited memoirs of one woman's rebellion against "the whole ghastly social structure" under which the United States had been buried since the Victorian era.
