Reviews

An interesting, engaging story... [that] demonstrates the breadth of Rubinstein's influence in the fields of music, dance, theater, and literature. Bennahum has presented Rubinstein's story-with all the warts but with sympathy and understanding. - Elizabeth Aldrich, Retired Curator of Dance, Library of Congress Bennahum has done a wonderful service to readers ... Her investigative research and sparkling style bring to life an intriguing figure whose importance is resonant on many levels-as a Jew between the wars, a woman in power, a performer/producer, and creative collaborator. - Suki John, Professor, Texas Christian University Brings Ida Rubinstein to life through a study of her correspondence with artistic collaborators, lovers, and friends, situated alongside vivid descriptions of the productions in which she appeared. - Olivia Sabee, Swarthmore College
