But until now she’s been largely ignored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn to a wealthy family in Switzerland, as a teenager she rebelled against her domineering pro-Nazi mother. She immersed herself in the antifascist, queer and artistic circles of the German diaspora of the 1930s. Her edgy glamour and androgynous beauty turned heads in the lesbian nightclubs of Weimar Berlin, on the ski slopes of St. Moritz, and in New York's luxury hotels and jazz bars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstantly on the move, Annemarie chronicled the low and dishonest decade leading to war through her unique journalism, writing and photography. Her work was as adventurous and uncompromising as her personal life, and reveals a deep courage, intelligence, and ambition tragically curtailed by her untimely death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover\u003cbr\u003e332 pages\u003cbr\u003ePolity, 2025\u003cbr\u003e6.3 x 1.4 x 9.1 inches\u003cbr\u003eISBN 9781509566297\u003cbr\u003eBiography \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52550180896936,"sku":"9781509566297","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/8594\/files\/Rooney_Padraig_Rebel_Angel_6755ba2b-9dd6-4575-86c7-080c757e6b29.jpg?v=1747244482","url":"https:\/\/neue-galerie-design-shop.myshopify.com\/products\/rebel-angel-the-life-and-times-of-annemarie-schwarzenbach","provider":"Neue Galerie Design Shop \u0026 Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
