Stein sitting on a sofa in her Paris studio, 1930. Gertrude Stein (February 3, 1874 - July 27, 1946) was an American writer of novels, poetry and plays. She moved to Paris in 1903, making France her home for the remainder of her life. A literary innovator and pioneer of Modernist literature, Stein's work broke with the narrative, linear, and temporal conventions of 19th century. In 1933, Stein published a kind of memoir of her Paris years, The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, written in the voice of Toklas, her life partner. The book became a literary bestseller and vaulted Stein from the relative obscurity of cult literary figure into the light of mainstream attention. Wide World Photos, Inc., May 16, 1930.
