Joyce, Lucia, -1982

Lucia Anna Joyce, second child and only daughter of Irish writer James Joyce and Nora Barnacle, was born July 26, 1907, in Trieste, Austria-Hungary. Her early life and education was somewhat unstable as the impoverished Joyce family relocated often. She attended several schools, moving between Trieste and Zurich until 1920, when the family settled and lived in and around Paris.

In addition to her formal education, Lucia Joyce studied piano, singing, and drawing. At age fifteen, she began dance studies in Paris. She eventually performed professionally, but discouraged with her progress and abilities, she abandoned her dance career in 1929 .
