Josephine Baker was not only influential in her role in dance but also in the fight for social justice. The National Women's History Museum discusses how Baker rose to fame as a highly sought after entertainer, celebrated for her distinctive dance technique and one-of-a-kind attire. Despite her predominantly white audience, she infused her performances with African themes and aesthetics. Notably, in her renowned spectacle "Danse Sauvage," she captivated audiences while wearing a banana skirt, gracefully moving across the stage.
