Bookish for life

Anthropology graduate, anglophile, social justice activist, chocoholic, traveler and book lover from the German-speaking part of Switzerland, currently working in the renewable energy sector. Books have been my passion since before I could read.

 

Considering using this as a replacement for my Goodreads account, where I've been keeping track of what I read (audiobooks included). You can find a record of the dead-tree books I own on LibraryThing. As of now I haven't imported those yet.

Flapper: A Madcap Story of Sex, Style, Celebrity, and the Women Who Made America Modern

Flapper: A Madcap Story of Sex, Style, Celebrity, and the Women Who Made America Modern - Joshua Zeitz This was an easy-to-read overview over the flapper phenomenon in the US. I liked that despite the wide ground he covered, the author managed to repeatedly mention issues like race, class and gender inequalities.
