WIT & WRATH: The Life & Times of Dorothy Parker—Planetarium

Higgeldy, piggeldy, my white hen.

She lays eggs for gentlemen.

You cannot persuade her, with gun or lariat,

To come across for the proletariat.

A woman who can twist a poem in seconds, on the back of a napkin at a dinner party? Witty, incisive, political, charming? That’s Dorothy Parker!

Born in Victorian times, she worked in NYC’s male literary world in 1920s, warned of Facism in 1930s and celebrated for her Short Stories in 1940s. A feminist before the world was coined!
