Summary

Rebellious, radical and romantic, Beatrice Wood's life was extraordinary in every way, from her childhood in San Francisco to bohemian life in Paris to becoming one of the major ceramicists of the 20th century. Here she candidly shares the details of her unconventional life and offers rare glimpses into the lives of significant innovators such as Isadora Duncan, Anais Nin and Marcel Duchamp, the iconoclastic Dadaist.
