My Life, the classic autobiography first published just after Duncan's death in 1927, is a frank and engrossing life account of this remarkable visionary and feminist who took on the world, re-invented dance, and led the way for future great American modernist dancers and choreographers like Agnes de Mille. Documenting Duncan's own life as a dancer and as a woman, from her enchantment with classical music and poetry as a child in San Francisco and her intense study of classical Greek art in Athens, through the great strides she made in teaching, founding schools, performing, and collaborating with international artists, to her notorious love affairs and the tragic deaths of her own children. My Life is still as extraordinary as the woman who wrote it almost a century ago.
