Zelda Fitzgerald (1900–1948) was an American writer and artist, long overshadowed by her husband, F. Scott Fitzgerald, yet increasingly recognized as an important voice of the Jazz Age. Alongside their glamorous and turbulent life, she published short stories in magazines and, in 1932, her novel Save Me the Waltz, a semi-autobiographical work exploring female ambition, artistic desire, and the costs of marriage. In recent decades, scholars have also pointed to the complex and troubling dynamic between the two: letters and manuscripts suggest that Scott drew directly from Zelda’s diaries, letters, and even phrases from her writing for his own fiction, sometimes without clear acknowledgment. Today, she is read not only as a muse of the Jazz Age, but as a writer whose creative voice struggled for space within a marriage marked by competition and appropriation.
