A century ago, Greta Garbo was showing women around the world how to live, love, work, and claim independence on their own terms. Her performances felt startlingly real at a time when acting was still theatrical and restrained. Women didn't just watch Garbo. They recognized themselves in her. She was the Taylor Swift of her time.In "Greta Garbo and the Rise of the Modern Woman," Scott Reisfield offers a groundbreaking biography that reclaims Garbo's legacy through a feminist and cultural lens. Drawing on family letters, private collections, and years of original research, Reisfield strips away decades of myth to reveal how Garbo consciously shaped her career, her image, and her impact on society. Meticulously researched, deeply human, and strikingly relevant today, it's an essential read for anyone interested in women's history, biography, film, and the ongoing struggle for equality.
Black Stone Bookstore & Cultural Center will have books available for purchase and signing.
