Without trying to deny her accomplishments as a writer I can add that Gertrude Stein was a fascist (or at the very least had fascist leanings) that supported and encouraged collaborationist activity during WWII (including praising Vichy leader Philippe Pétain ) and suggested Adolf Hitler as a worthy candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize. You may of course make of that what you will, but I would much prefer it if you didn’t make it a kvell score of 4. Just saying.
