Grace Flandrau: Voice Interrupted

This captivating biography explores the life of Grace Flandrau and the upper crust of St. Paul, Minnesota, in the early 20th century. The author of six novels, including the acclaimed Being Respectable, and numerous short stories, Flandrau was a contemporary of F. Scott Fitzgerald and one of Minnesota's best-known writers. A cautionary tale that illuminates the constraints placed on women writers during the birth of Jazz Age literature, this life story also examines the honesty and integrity that Flandrau was known for, as well as her fall from literary and social grace.
