La Semana Trágica, las huelgas, las luchas y la necesidad del sufragio femenino, las políticas de la infancia en una trama social en gestación, las prisiones, los trasfondos multicolor del yrigoyenismo, la epidemia de gripe, los recovecos del arte: todo pasa por Katherine Sophie Dreier, singular y generosa mujer de vanguardia, a través de una lente estadounidense convertida en audaz caleidoscopio, lo que hace de este libro un relato fascinante del viaje que esta singular mujer emprendiera por Argentina entre 1918 y 1919.

When President Thomas Jefferson bought the Louisiana Territory from cash-strapped France in 1803, he doubled the size of the United States without really knowing what he was getting. He dispatched Meriwether Lewis and William Clark and their Corps of Discovery to explore a territory that would include part or all of fifteen future states and to seek a water route to the West Coast. Westward expansion began immediately, all for the bargain price of 15 million dollars. This book richly explores this fascinating part of history.
