5.0 out of 5 stars Literate, funny, the best bio ever.

Emily Hahn was a truly extraordinary mid-century writer on topics from Mabel Dodge to China. Reading any of her works is to enter a highly civilized, literary salon. Her books are delightful.

1.0 out of 5 stars A narcisstic, self-obsessed woman who should be forgotten
Mabel does not deserve a celebrated place in history. Mabel represents everything small, untalented, and selfish in our society. She was a self-absorbed, mediocre, spoiled brat who did far more to hurt and exploit people (including her child) than to help, so why is she still applauded for doing precious little except obsessing on herself her entire life?
