Je connaissais un peu l'oeuvre et la personnalité de G.Stein mais rien de sa compagne je ne savais pas qu'elle avait vécu avec une femme. Passionnante personnalité, G.Stein. on la voit dans le film de Woody Allen Midnight at Paris...merci pour cet article]]> In reply to Nava Atlas.

Lynne, I've often wished I had an "Alice B. Toklas," but in my case it would have to be a man, and there aren't many who would put their creative efforts and egos in service of a woman's. Leonard Woolf was one rare instance — though I'm not in any way equating myself with Virginia Woolf! In any case, Gertrude and Alice were an intriguing pair, and their legend and legacy live on forever.]]> In reply to Lynne Weiss.

I’m always intrigued by the compromises people make for survival, e.g., Stein’s involvement with the Vichy government. As well as in the nature of love!

I was watching “Tru Love” Gertrude and Alice Paris was mentioned so this is how I got to your writing. Thank you again.
