Wow! Not sure who she was (won a Pulitzer Prize for poetry); but she had a really interesting life! When I think of the wild 20's I think of someone like her. From humble beginnings to wide acclaim she pretty much did it all.

I especially liked the interesting thoughts of an American Jew traveling in Germany pre-Second World War. Her "Nobody Can Touch Me" attitude got a rude awakening.
