Abstract

From the symbolic-cultural side of feminine reality, even though we do not stray away from the logics of the historic course of events, we see a small group of women who infringed the rules and social conventions which governed the gender relations in the first third of the twentieth century. Spineless female street artists wandered around the big city, living off the leftovers of everyday life, their way of living thus becoming a first hint of the other side of Bohemian life. However, art for art’s sake –and not out of necessity– would not reach its peak until the garçonne presented herself as the creator of her own identity of woman.
