Gertrude Stein was a central figure in the Parisian avant-garde of the early 20th century. She hosted the “New Moderns” which gathered in her Paris salon. She was an imposing figure, possessed of a remarkable self-confidence and a commanding manner.  With her partner Alice B. Toklas, she hosted such greats as Salvador Dali, Ernest Hemingway, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, James Joyce and many others. Her writing which has come to be well respected, has been for the most part overshadowed by her more prolific contemporaries
