Caresse Crosby was a pioneering figure in the literary and publishing world, known for inventing the modern bra. She later became a significant patron of the arts and, alongside her second husband, co-founded the Black Sun Press. This publishing house played a crucial role in promoting the early works of renowned authors such as Ernest Hemingway, Anaïs Nin, and Henry Miller. Crosby was hailed as the "literary godmother" to the Lost Generation of expatriate writers in Paris.
