review 1: This was a great read on a great woman and fantastic cutting edge artist from the early 1900s, whom I knew nothing about until I read this graphic novel. Isadora inspires with every overthrown idea of tradition, of women's roles, of status quo, then she uses her wealth and fame to help others. Choppy but evocative drawing and very nicely done biography. Isadora Duncan is a true inspiration to women and artists and humans of all ages. Highly recommended!
review 2: Like dancing? Isadora Duncan is the reason we dance more freely today and not in strictly "proper' dancing from the 1800'sSet at the turn of the 20th century, the story covers many social norms and expectations of women at the time. The strength of this book is the begining- which challeneges the reade... morer to remove presentist views and consider how revolutionary Isadora's actions were. Sleeping around, wearing what you choose, and following your passion isn't big deal today- but at the time she lived it really was. I thought the book focused a little too much on her affairs and could have focused a little more on her craft. less
