| Bessie Smith (April 15, 1894 – September 26, 1937) was an American blues singer. Nicknamed "The Empress of the Blues", Smith was the most popular female blues singer of the 1920s and 1930s. |
The 1920s - 1940s are most interesting to me. There was the Roaring Twenties, Black Thursday, the Depression, Volstead Act, Women's History; the list goes on and on. I also find the Gregorian, Victorian, Edwardian era interesting as well. I hope you enjoy your visit!
