Description
Zoe ranked as “a rising star” in bohemian Pleiades constellations early in her career. From 1896 into the 1930s, its weekly restaurant dinners—coed, unlike more upstanding institutions like the Grolier Club—attracted speakers as prominent as Mark Twain. Pleiades yearbooks contained members’ works and signatures; this edition’s authors include Zoe’s friends Lee Fairchild, William J. Lampton, Richard Le Gallienne, and Mabel Herbert Urner. Among this copy’s signers is Florence Foster Jenkins, known as her era’s “worst opera singer.”
