When I posted the ~today in history question~, I did not expect to be made aware of the death of Isadora Duncan.

@bunnhyphuphu explains

On September 14, 1927, Isadora Duncan Dies in a freak automobile accident in Nice, France.

She was the pioneer of modern dance. A 'revolutionist' and feminist who brought new ideas to movement without a corset or restrictive clothing. She created a new and modern way of dancing by incorporating the ancient styles of Greece in both movement and clothing. She was also known for famously dancing barefoot!




I would have nominated it to the Answer of the Day contest, but I already used up my nomination.
