Author Hilary A. Hallett will be discussing her biography, Inventing the It Girl: How Elinor Glyn Created the Modern Romance and Conquered Early Hollywood, with historian Alice Kessler-Harris.
“ From rose petals and silken lingerie to smoldering looks and lingering caresses, Elinor Glyn’s work in fiction and film laid the foundations for much of modern romance on the page and the screen. Her scandalous, sexually charged 1907 novel, Three Weeks, was simultaneously a bestseller and one of the most denounced books of its time. Working in early Hollywood films, she coined the term “It Girl” and turned actor Clara Bow into a symbol of America’s first sexual revolution.”
