The Women

The Women Who Rescued James Joyce's Ulysses.

Joyce's controversial masterpiece Ulysses would have never been published in 1922 if not for these forward-thinking women.

They provided funding, moral support, business acumen and love to the self-centered, obsessive writer. Left Bank tells Joyce's story awhile revealing the feminist history of a revolutionary bookshop in the left bank of Paris, through dramatic scenes, interviews, archival footage and animation.

Left Bank seeks to answer the question - who were these women and why was it so important for them to support the arts, cultivate a culture of reading and to publish Ulysses - considered by many to be the most important novel of the 20th century?

Left Bank endorsement by Keri Walsh.
