Description
Frances and Addie embrace their newfound freedom, exploring Harlem's speakeasies and dance clubs while meeting the luminaries of the literary and theatrical world, including encounters with Harpo Marx, Harold Ross, and Dorothy Parker. However, youthful optimism meets the jarring realities of social and religious convention, and the women struggle to find themselves in the flux dealing with antisemitism and inequality.

The Empty Mirror depicts these turbulent years from two women's perspectives who, despite different backgrounds and upbringings, unexpectedly find common cause in the world.
