Dorothy Parker in Hollywood | 
“Parker is a classic case of a misunderstood woman. She was a problem, and a problem that simply didn‘t fit in one way or another. All too often, women who refuse to conform must live and die with this temporal displacement. At the start of her career, Parker‘s stringing barbs and biting bons mots were seen as shockingly modern- indeed, ahead of their time-and most “unladylike.” By the end of her life, Parker was regarded as a relic of a time -
RowReads1 long gone, her verse anachronistic, her witticisms haunting popular culture and the rooms of the Algonquin as though she were a ghost long before she had even died”. 1w
