Irrepressible

In "Irrepressible," biographer Emily Bingham delves into the fascinating life of her great-aunt, Henrietta Bingham, who was raised in a powerful Southern family and faced societal expectations head-on during the Jazz Age. Instead of leading a traditional life, Henrietta captivated those around her in New York, Louisville, and London, navigating a world of desire while grappling with addiction and familial disapproval due to her love affairs with women. A muse to the Bloomsbury Group and a significant pre-Stonewall figure, her story highlights the complexities of defying convention and the hidden narratives within our own families.
