History’s Most Complicated Wives

You probably know F. Scott Fitzgerald for writing great novels, but his wife, Zelda, was the one who provided the material. They married in 1920 and became the face of the Jazz Age, partying from New York to Paris. She didn’t just sit around; she wrote her own stories and danced until she collapsed. Their life was a constant cycle of big spending and loud public arguments. By 1930, the stress of their wild lifestyle led to her spending years in and out of clinics.
