The notorious character type who bobbed her hair, smoke cigarettes, drank gin, sported short skirts, and passed her evenings in steamy jazz clubs, where she danced in a shockingly immodest fashion with a revolving cast of male suitors.”

(…) She flouted Victorian-era conventions and scandalized her parents. In many ways, she controlled her own destiny”
