And the moment she steps out.. you know the cleavage controversy... oh dear. : ) biographies have been difficult for me in the past, but i think i shall start reading them... wow, what a great post, so well researched and thought provoking! i love that she dressed so her work can take center stage. it reminds me of hilary clinton when running for senator wore only black suits, so people would forget about what she was wearing and listen to what she had to say.

I like the emotional connection to her clothing especially with color. And the mental imagery of a "black wool coat with a collar that buttoned up to her chin and black gloves of the best leather", is just so...wow.... A wonderful, insightful post.

The periods where she first broke out are generally my favorite as far as nonfiction is concerned. I read 'Holy Skirts' about the deeply eccentric Elsa von Freytag partly because she was so active during the pre & post WWI period. Mina Loy was the first person who came to mind when I read this post--I keep meaning to dig up more info on her as she strikes me as similar to O'Keefe in that deep desire to maintain individuality.
