Dreaming in French: The Paris Years of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, Susan Sontag and Angela Davis – Alice Kaplan

• History

Jacqueline Bouvier was a 20-year-old debutante from a wealthy East Coast family; Susan Sontag a precocious Jewish intellectual from North Hollywood; Angela Davis a French major at Brandeis and the only black student in her year-abroad program. All three would go on to be cultural icons, but each was shaped early on by the discoveries, intellectual adventures and loves found during their year abroad in Paris.
