   Why was Nancy Cunard so popular?

   • As an adult, Nancy Cunard was more European than English. Typical of her class and time, Cunard had her "coming out" as a London debutante in 1914. Elegant balls and parties, attended by the "proper" young men and women, bored her. She was drawn to a group of more rebellious upper-class friends who composed the "Corrupt Coterie."
