Blog Tour: Greta Garbo and the Rise of the Modern Woman, by Scott Reisfield

I am delighted to be on the blog tour for this read.

What's it about?

Hollywood Made Her a Star.

What she did for women made her a Legend.

Greta Garbo dominated European cinema and Hollywood in the 1920s and 1930s. With discipline and fearless self-belief, she transformed screen acting into something intimate, modern, and psychologically real. She fought studio control... and won. She challenged censors, defied social expectations, and refused to compromise her independence.

More than a movie star, Garbo reshaped what it meant to be a woman on screen-self-possessed, mysterious, and unapologetically autonomous. She redefined the power a woman could hold in Hollywood.

In this intimate biography, her grandnephew Scott Reisfield reveals this disciplined artist, strategic thinker, and the fiercely private woman who helped usher a closed culture into the Modern Age.

Bobs and Books review:

I have been loving non-fiction this year so was thrilled to have this read sent to me. This really is a hugely detailed read and at over 600 pages, no stone is left unturned.

This is more of a read that you would dip into, and to read from start to finish would seriously strengthen your arm muscles. But of the chapters of interest, there were some good stories and it made for good reading.

Out now.
