But she never finished the books she was contracted to write-a painful failure, and yet a kind of achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe quintessential fan, Mercedes de Acosta had intimate friendships with the legendary actresses and dancers of the twentieth century. Her ephemeral legacy is the thousands of objects she collected to preserve the memory of those performers and to document her own feelings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn icon of haute couture and an editor of British Vogue, Madge Garland held influential views on fashion that drew on her feminism, her ideas about modernity, and her love of women. Existing both vividly and invisibly at the center of culture, she-like Murphy and de Acosta-is now almost completely forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn All We Know, Lisa Cohen describes these women's glamorous choices, complicated failures, and controversial personal lives with lyricism and empathy. At once a series of intimate portraits and a startling investigation into style, celebrity, sexuality, and the genre of biography itself, All We Know explores a hidden history of modernism and pays tribute to three compelling lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLisa Cohen\u003c\/b\u003e's \u003ci\u003eAll We Know: Three Lives\u003c\/i\u003e was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle award and the PEN\/Bograd Weld prize, and a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Notable Book and Editor's Choice for 2012.
