Louise Bryant

Description d’origine  : « 

They were the happiest days of her life, those first months in Greenwich Village in 1916 with John Reed in their coldwater flat on South Washington Square. The Village, before World War One, was home for men and women “respectable” people shunned – artists, rebels, dancers, musicians, poets, writers, nonconformists – many of whose names, however, now appear on America’s cultural and political rolls of honor. It was no place for timid vacillating souls. When Louise and Reed went off and got married, Art Young, the Herblock cartoonist of that era, warned them: “Don’t for the love of God, tell anybody what you have done. You’ll never live it down.”
