520 $aBritish eccentric Marion "Joe" Carstairs was a world-class speedboat racer, heiress to the Standard Oil fortune, ruler of her own Caribbean Island--and a cross-dressing lesbian. During the permissive 1920s, Carstairs was able to flaunt her taste for women in the bohemian circles of London and Paris. She had affairs with numerous women, including Natalie Barney and Dolly Wilde, Oscar's niece. When writing about Carstairs's boat races, the press of that roaring decade regarded her as a loveable tomboy, but as social norms shifted in the 1930s, Carstairs's lifestyle was frowned upon. So she acquired Whale Cay, an island off the coast of Florida, turned it into her own version of paradise, became a gentleman farmer, and had an affair with Marlene Dietrich.--amazon.com.
