Waiting for the Prince (Lisboa)

«Any intelligent woman who reads the marriage contract, and then goes into it, deserves all the consequences.»

Isadora Duncan*

* (San Francisco, California, U.S. 27-May-1877 / Nice, France 14-Sep-1927)
American dancer, lived in Western Europe and the Soviet Union from the age of 22 until her death at age 50. She performed to acclaim throughout Europe after being exiled from the United States for her pro-Soviet sympathies.
Died in an automobile accident in Nice, France, when she was a passenger in an Amilcar. Her silk scarf, draped around her neck, became entangled around the open-spoked wheels and rear axle, breaking her neck.
In 1987, she was inducted into the National Museum of Dance's Mr. & Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney Hall of Fame.
