Female Lost Generation
The books written by female American authors during the infamous Lost Generation literary movement in the 1920s (-ish, we may veer a little bit to 1910s and 1930s) Europe. Mostly Paris centred, but again, I think some other works ar worth while too and might be written somewhere else. Some works will be written during the lost generations and others are more reflective of the time and written later. A companion and new perspectives on the Hemingways and Fitzgeralds.
