Diva : the courageous, the visionary, the fabulous
2023
Books
Originating from the Latin for deity or goddess, the word 'diva' has evolved to become a far more complex - and loaded - term. Delving into public and private personas of performers from Jenny Lind and Sarah Bernhardt to Nina Simone and Rihanna this book examines what it means to be a diva and how this has been subverted and embraced over time.
