Welcome back!! This week the ladies review Fearless and Free, A memior by Josephine Baker. "Gorgeously translated into English for the first time by Anam Zafar and Sophie Lewis, Fearless and Free comprises stories and reflections in Baker’s own voice, drawn from conversations with the French writer Marcel Sauvage that began in 1926 and continued for more than 20 years afterwards. They cover her early life in St Louis, her adventures in Europe, and eventual transformation into, as Sauvage puts it, an “actress and French citizen of worldwide renown”.Dina Nayeri of the Guardian
