## Bio

Gertrude Stein left Oakland for Paris in 1903 and turned her salon into modernism's living room—Picasso, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Matisse all passed through. She published experimental work nobody bought: Q.E.D., Three Lives, The Making of Americans, Tender Buttons. In 1933 she wrote The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas in her partner's voice, and the book became a bestseller that pulled her out of cult obscurity into mainstream attention. During World War II, as a Jew in Nazi-occupied France, she may have survived only through the protection of Vichy official Bernard Faÿ, a Nazi collaborator; after the war she praised Vichy leader Marshal Pétain. She died in 1946, leaving behind the line "there is no there there"—usually assumed to mean Oakland.
