Excellent subject, research, and writing. Love the Jazz Age, but Bingham was a new-to-me figure. Her relationships with the Bloomsbury Group were intriguing. Her athleticism in basketball and foxhunting were fascinating as well. Also really loved the chapters about Helen Hull Jacobs. And when Bingham bred horses and ran a farm. The saddest part was realizing the very negative affect that being sexually closeted had on Bingham's life.
