Marilyn: The Passion and the Paradox Lois Banner

Marilyn Monroe was rooted in paradox: she was a powerful star and a childlike waif; a joyful, irreverent party girl with a deeply spiritual side; a superb friend and a narcissist; a dumb blonde and an intellectual. In the fifty years since Marilyn's death in 1962, no biographer has fully recognised - much less analysed - most of these aspects of her personality. Lois Banner has. A founder of the field of women's history. Banner reveals Marilyn Monroe as only a top-notch historian and biographer could. Her credentials opened doors in researching this book, gaining her access to Marilyn intimates who had never before spoken to biographers or reporters, as well as a cache of private material previously unseen, ignored or misinterpreted. With new details about Marilyn's childhood foster homes, her sexual abuse, her multiple i marriages and affairs, and her untimely death aged thirty-six, Banner lends nuance and authoritative detail to sketchy rumours and whispered legends...
