Three Girls in a Flat Laura Hayes; Jean Loughborough; Enid Yandell Enid Yandell (October 6, 1870 - June 13, 1934) was an American sculptor who studied with Auguste Rodin and Frederick William MacMonnies. She created numerous portraits, garden pieces and small works as well as public monuments. Ms. Yandell also studied in Paris and kept a studio there. This book, Three Girls in a Flat, is a semi-autobiographical account of her work as a sculptor for the Horticultural Building at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. Co-written with two friends, it's an episodic account of the trials and tribulations of three young women eking out a living while sharing a small flat in Chicago. The young ladies are called Virginia (or Gene), Marjorie and the Duke (a young sculptor -- certainly Ms. Yandell's character). Interspersed among the stories of their work days, social gatherings held in their flat, daily life in Chicago, interactions with their neighbors, and young male callers at various times, are descriptions of the work of the women involved w RadioLacan.com |Echoes of Tel Aviv: "Knottings" Seminar of the NLS-Tel Aviv: “Discreet Signs in Ordinary psychosis, Clinic and Treatment” On 5 September 2015 a "Knottings" Seminar of the NLS took place Tel Aviv, as part of the preparatory work towards the next Congress of the New Lacanian School, which will be held in Dublin on next July 2th and 3th, under the title "Discreet Signs in Ordinary Psychoses, Clinic and Treatment".
