Isadora Duncan

ebook
Isadora Duncan, a giant in the history of American dance, created a new dance form and opened new frontiers for women. A self-described "revolutionist," she rejected orthodox ballet techniques as an artist, and insisted on personal liberty as a woman. Adored by millions for her unique artistry, Duncan paved the way for modern expressive dance, and showed women that independence and self-fulfillment were attainable goals. Isadora, "a militant and mighty woman," was still dancing at the age of 49, when a bizarre accident took her life.
