Zelda Fitzgerald, Writer, Flapper, and Wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald
Sun: Leo
Ascendant: Leo
Moon: Cancer

Leo women aren’t shrinking violets, and they have a strong gusto for life and living large. Even in the days before feminism, Leo women had the ability to live their life on their own terms (like men) without falling into the polemics of gender politics. Leos are far too busy living and trail-blazing to waste time fighting for a cause. Leo women, especially, thrive on risk and daring.

In today’s list of Birthday Twins, there are a lot of strong willed women who were making their mark in a society where most women stayed in the home. Zelda Fitzgerald, Amelia Earhart, Bella Abzug all showed that the best way to fight for equality is just by living it and doing it.
