At a chance encounter at a Berlin soir\u00e9e in 1928, the photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt captures three very different women together in one frame: up-and-coming German actress Marlene Dietrich; Anna May Wong, the world\u2019s first Chinese American star; and Leni Riefenstahl, whose work as a director of propaganda art films would first make her famous\u2014then, infamous.<\/p>\n

The trajectories of these women\u2019s lives wind from Weimar Berlin to LA\u2019s Chinatown, from the Bavarian Alps to the Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es, and the different settings they inhabit are as richly textured as the roles they play: siren, victim, predator, or lover, each one a carefully calibrated performance. In the orbit of each star live secondary players whose voices and viewpoints reveal the legacy each woman left behind. Intimate and clear-eyed, this is a visceral depiction of womanhood\u2014its particular hungers, its oblique calculations, and its eventual betrayals.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
