Natalie Barney (1876-1972) came out as a lesbian before the word even meant "lesbian." She was born into railroad baron money in Dayton, Ohio, but spent most of her amazingly long life in Paris, where she wrote prolifically in French, let down her hair, got naked a lot, but mostly in indoors, because if you were a pretty woman in early 20th century Paris who could be had, she would have you.

Hot Damn, A! Some years ago I misplaced my Natalie Barney mini-collection, and you had them all the time!?

I had a friend in Paris (sadly gone now) who for years (post WWII) lived across
the street from Mlle Barney's notorious Salon at 20 Rue Jacob.


He personally saw a lot of very famous actresses, Arletty, Morgan,
Carole, Dietrich, Garbo entering for dinner and not coming out for days.


I kept urging him to write a book, but "you know how it is..."

No question, Natalie Barney was one of a kind!

Found a higher res version of this one on the Yale U. website

I’ve always wished somebody somewhere had the complete set from this shoot, then I remember that this photo was taken by something like this

and there was no "complete set." ;)

While perusing a website about loonies

I ran across a reference to Bernardine Dohrn, a former member of the Weather Underground who helped carry out bombings but never actually killed anyone. And on a purely prurient impulse I googled "bernardine dohrn nude."

The result, if fake, is an excellent pre-Photoshop fake. ;)
Well I don't think that it would have appeared on the front page like that!!

I don't think it's fake. Later shots of the lady indicate same bone-structure.

I tried the Library of Congress but the issue isn't available.
I believe it's Bernardine Dohrn; no reason why it shouldn't be.
Lots of boys and girls took nudes of each other, it wasn't hard
to get photos developed, plus there were always Polaroids.
