Janet Flanner, France
On this day in 1978 Janet Flanner died. Her bi-weekly "Letter From Paris" was published in The New Yorker for a half-century, and then collected in the award-winning Paris Journal and other volumes. They offer a better and more reliable alternative to such memoirs as Hemingway's A Moveable Feast, from one close to several Lost Generations, and closer to France. |

An online exhibit titled Women Come to the Front: Journalists, Photographers, and Broadcasters During World War II presents information about Therese Bonney, Toni Frissell, Marvin Breckinridge Patterson, Clare Boothe Luce, Janet Flanner, Esther Bubley, Dorothea Lange, and May Craig. With a short history of American women journalists, and photographs.
"For female journalists, World War II offered new professional opportunities. Talented and determined, dozens of women fought for--and won--the right to cover the biggest story of their lives. By war's end, at least 127 American women had secured official military accreditation as war correspondents, if not actual front-line assignments. Other women journalists remained on the home front to document the ways in which the country changed dramatically under wartime conditions." |  | Our Land, Our Literature
Find a short biography and description of Flanner's only novel, The Cubical City.
"In 1922, Flanner moved to Paris, France, and began to focus more on her writing. Though she was primarily a newspaper journalist, she did write one novel, The Cubical City. This work spoke about landmarks and nature that are reflections of her early life in Indiana." | | Paris Was a Woman (AUP FirstBridge Project)
This online book -- compiled by two professors, a specialist in literature and feminist theory, and an art historian focusing on Renaissance gender issues -- offers student essays on the lives, accomplishments, and philosophical interests of women including Catherine De' Medicis, George Sand, Gertrude Stein, Djuna Barnes, Anais Nin, Josephine Baker, and Janet Flanner.
"Why do Miller and Flanner use the City as a metaphor for feminist agendas? The easy answer is, because Cities themselves represent happenings of social change. Cities are places of concentrated young people, a place would social change would pack the most punch. Change is most apparent in these locations, and so it is appropriate to use the City as a vehicle for advocating feminist messages. The more subtle issues are mixed in there: Miller's feminism encourages us to repudiate preconceived notions of cities as patricarchal gendered places, and promotes a humane and social consciousness. Flanner's failed Delia is the epitome of patriarchal control and urges us not to submit...." | |
