Questions about the meaning of womanhood and femininity loomed large in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century French culture. Holly Grout uses the theater - specifically, Parisian stage performances of the Egyptian queen Cleopatra by Sarah Bernhardt, Colette, and Josephine Baker - to explore these cultural and political debates.
