Summary:
"Diva celebrates the power and creativity of iconic performers, exploring what it means to be a diva. Ranging from opera and stage goddesses such as Adelina Patti, Sarah Bernhardt and Maria Callas to Hollywood icons Bette Davis, Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe, from activist power performers such as Josephine Baker, Nina Simone and Aretha Franklin to pop megastars Cher, Grace Jones, Prince, Madonna, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and Rihanna, this book puts our conceptions of the 'diva' in the spotlight. Each star featured-courageous, visionary, fabulous- is a diva incarnate"--Publisher's description.
