About:
The influential, uninhibited entertainer's life is traced from her turbulent Missouri childhood to her fame as a jazz singer and dancer. Josephine Baker's fascinating life encompassed stardom in the Paris of the 1920s, a career in the French Resistance, and civil rights activism in the '50s and '60s. Rose brings Baker to life as a performer, as a cultural icon, and as a black woman in a white world. Includes 16 pages of photos.
