Introduction.
Gertrude Stein (February 3, 1874 – July 27, 1946) was once an American novelist, poet, playwright, and art collector. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the Allegheny West nearby and raised in Oakland, California, Stein moved to Paris in 1903, and made France her home for the remainder of her life. She hosted a Paris salon, the place the main figures of modernism in literature and art, such as Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sinclair Lewis, Ezra Pound, Sherwood Anderson and Henri Matisse, would meet. In 1933, Stein published a quasi-memoir of her Paris years, The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, written in the voice of Alice B. Toklas, her existence partner. The e book grew to be a literary bestseller and vaulted Stein from the relative obscurity of the cult-literature scene into the limelight of mainstream attention. Two charges from her works have grow to be broadly known: "Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose", and "there is no there there", with the latter often taken to be a reference to her childhood domestic of Oakland.
Her books encompass Q.E.D. (1903), about a lesbian romantic affair involving countless of Stein's friends; Fernhurst, a fictional story about a love triangle; Three Lives (1905–06); The Making of Americans (1902–1911); and Tender Buttons (1914).1
Her activities all through World War II have been the difficulty of evaluation and commentary. As a Jew dwelling in Nazi-occupied France, Stein may have solely been able to preserve her life-style as an artwork collector, and certainly to ensure her bodily safety, thru the protection of the powerful Vichy government legitimate and Nazi collaborator Bernard Faÿ. After the hostilities ended, Stein expressed admiration for any other Nazi collaborator, Vichy leader Marshal Pétain.
