" Isadora Duncan was an American dancer who performed to great acclaim throughout Europe. Born and raised in California, she lived and danced in Western Europe and the Soviet Union from the age of 22 until her death at age 50 when her scarf became entangled in the wheels and axle of the car in which she was traveling in Nice, France. .... In both professional and private life, Duncan flouted traditional cultural standards. She was bisexual and an atheist, and alluded to her communism during her last United States tour, in 1922–23 ...." -- from Wikipedia
"[We] who have made this attempt to write an account of Idadora's Russian days and set down, as far as is humanly possible, an account of her life until the thread of it was snapped on that tragic evening of September 14, 1927, has worked and lived with the dancer long and intimately. [Irma Duncan] had gone to her as a pupil in 1905. Then, after having danced with her all over Europe and America, she had accompanied her on the adventurous voyage to Soviet Russia. She still remains there as Director of the Isadora Duncan School of the Dance in Moscow. [Macdougall] was for a period, 1916 - 17, secretary to the dancer and remained closely associated with her until the end...." - from the authors' Foreword.
Irma Duncan has Isadora's last name because the Isadora adopted her and several other of her proteges.
