	Mary Phelps Jacob - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The catalyst for Polly Jacob Peabody's transformation was her introduction and eventual marriage to Harry Crosby, a wealthy scion of a socially prominent Boston family and another veteran and victim of the recent war.
		In 1940 Caresse divorced Bert Young and moved to Italy by 1950 where she planned to create an artists colony.
		Caresse died in relative obscurity on January 24, 1970, but she lived long enough to see the bra go through a number of transformations and become immensely popular all over the world.

	Harry Crosby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Harry Crosby (June 4, 1898 – December 10, 1929) was an American heir, bon vivant, minor poet, and for some, an exemplar of the Lost Generation in American literature.
		Born Harry Grew Crosby on June 4, 1898 in Boston's exclusive Back Bay neighborhood, he was the son of one of the richest banking families in New England and the nephew of J.P. Morgan, the financier.
		During World War I, Harry Crosby said he wanted to escape "the horrors of Boston and particularly of Boston virgins" and volunteered with the American Field Service in France, serving at the Front as a driver in the dangerous ambulance service.

	Harry Crosby Biography
		While Crosby continued to maintain a glamorous and luxurious life style that included an "open marriage" and that was financed by selling the bonds and stocks whose dividends were the basis of his income, he also began to read deeply in contemporary literature.
		Crosby’s deepening engagement with his own writing is evident in the notebooks he kept during this visit – notebooks packed with overheard dialogue, with examples of advertising, with fragments of new poems, all of which he mined over the next few months, when he had returned to France.
		Crosby’s confidence in himself – which might seem narcissistic, or worse, the annoying self-absorption of the very wealthy – is unshakable, but it is inseparable from a pervasive sexuality that has positive associations with freedom.

		Harry Grew Crosby was born in Boston's Back Bay June 4, 1898, the son of one of the richest banking families in an area full of rich banking families.

	LitKicks: Harry Crosby
		The eminent critic Malcolm Cowley has used Crosby as a symbol of the rise and fall of the Jazz Age itself (see "Exile's Return"), eagerly pointing out the many excesses of his short life as being indicative of the essential shallowness of the man, and by extension, the age.
		Crosby was a native Bostonian, born into one of the city's prominent banking families on June 4, 1898, and raised with all the comforts and expectations of privilege that wealth brings.
		It was not Caresse, however, who would finally share Crosby's "sun death", but one of his mistresses, Josephine Rotch Bigelow, "the Fire Princess", and it would not come in the roaring descent of a plane but rather in the sharp crack of a pistol shot to the temple.

		Crosby was the heir to a Boston banking fortune (J.P. Morgan), but this was not a life that he himself wanted to live.
		Harry and Caresse's beautiful presentation of their work in elegant volumes, was at least partially responsible for the success of these authors.
		The former, published five years after the Crosbys' deaths (1934), was compiled without the benefit of a more distant and detached hindsight, while the latter closely examines the Crosbys' legendary self-indulgence and other failings with a lesser emphasis on his artistic pursuits and accomplishments.

		Right about the same time Ernest Hemingway was finishing off his A Movable Feast, Caresse Crosby was penning her own memoir of a remarkable period during which literary brilliance concentrated in Paris in the 1920s.
		Crosby's view of that era, which is among many memoirs of the time, was a little different, as she ran in more European circles and was more peripheral to the expatriate American scene.
		Caresse seems to have had a pattern of suffering men who neglected her needs, and especially those of her children.

		The bra was invented in 1913 by New York City socialite Caresse Crosby (1892–1970).
		Rebelling against the confinement and unattractive lines of the corsets (restrictive undergarments) that the fashion of the day dictated, Crosby directed a servant to sew together two handkerchiefs with ribbons to make a garment to wear over her breasts.
		Crosby was not the first to think of such a device, but she patented her invention and therefore was able to claim the rights to it.
