 Intimate Memories: The Autobiography of Mabel Dodge Luhan
Mabel Dodge Luhan (1879-1962) began to write her autobiography in 1924, a process that took over a decade and resulted in a 1,600-page, four-volume opus that was published serially under the title Intimate Memories.
Luhan wrote her memoirs from the point of view of a rebel who had spent much of her adult life constructing a series of utopian domains that were intended to overturn "the whole ghastly social structure" under which she felt the United States had been buried since the Victorian era.
Luhan made her mark primarily as a patron of social and cultural radicals and reformers who have achieved far greater renown than she in the annals of twentieth-century history.

 THE COLLECTOR’S GUIDE: MODERNISM IN NEW MEXICO
Pivotal in bringing avant-garde painters to the state was Mabel Dodge, who settled at Taos in 1917.
Since these attractions—the mystery of nature, its spiritual overtones and introspective qualities—were central to much modernist thinking in the visual arts, it is not surprising that Dodge's visitors were often powerfully struck by their encounters with New Mexico.
Though she had spent time in the Southwest before, the landscape of northern New Mexico spoke to O'Keeffe that summer, engaging her will and her artistic imagination in an insistent dialogue that would culminate in her permanent move to the state in 1949.

Mabel Dodge Luhan, a wealthy arts patron who knew Natalie Barney from boarding school in Paris, returned to America and later established a salon in her 23 Fifth Avenue apartment, just on the edge of Greenwich Village in New York City.

Although primarily heterosexual, Luhan frankly details her passionate physical encounters with young women during her youth in her autobiography Intimate Memories (1933).
