A beautifully written and elegantly structured narrative that explores the intense, complex, and extensive female friendships among the Surrealists during the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. The book "Militant Muse" documents what it meant to be young, ambitious, and female within the context of an avant-garde movement defined by distinguished men whose educational, philosophical, and literary backgrounds were often quite different from those of their younger lovers and companions. Focusing on the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, Whitney Chadwick records five intense, extensive female friendships among the surrealists and shows how surrealism and the experiences of war, loss, and trauma shaped women's transitions from beloved muses to mature artists. The vivid narrative includes the intriguing story of the subversive activities of Claude Cahun and Suzanne Malherbe in occupied Jersey, as well as the experiences of Lee Miller and Valentine Penrose on the front line. The book draws on personal correspondence between the women, including the remarkable letters between Leonora Carrington and Leonor Fini after Carrington's beloved Max Ernst was imprisoned, as well as the letter shared by Frida Kahlo with her friend and lover Jacqueline Lamba years after writing it in 1930 during a difficult stay in Paris. This fully captivating story offers a new perspective on the political context of surrealism, as well as fresh insights into the vital importance of female friendship in artistic and intellectual flourishing.
