I have been learning about the beguines through Laura Swan's book, The Wisdom of the Beguines. In this video, she gives an overview of what beguines are and what they are all about

Found this charming track in @luvmesumus's audio archive. What appealed to me was her powerful, exprressive vocals and the warm rhythms.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any black and white photos of her to add to my collection of female vocalists over @vintageblackandwhiteportraits.

If anyone knows where I might find some, please let me know. Thanks

Michel Léonard Béguine

L'Étreinte, 1920

[thatsonemorbidcorvid]

“In Venice, (beguines) Adriana Contarini and Helena Priuli brought together a group of financially independent women and established a safe home for young girls who had been sold into prostitution. Contarini and Priuli established legal documents of protection and wrote a rule for their house, known as Le Constituzioni et Regole della Casa delle Cittelle di Venetia. In a letter, Adriana Contarini wrote: "We have succeeded in sheltering thirty little girls, all snatched from the power of the devil; we see the degradation of these girl-children who, at the age of twelve or thirteen or even younger, have been sold by their own mothers; they come from all social ranks, from the nobility, the middle class, the workers. Our times are so disastrous, that no words can express the wretchedness of some of the cases.””
