Loy, Mina (December 27, 1882 – September 25, 1966)
She met the 'poet-boxer' Arthur Cravan, self-styled Dadaist and fugitive from conscription in 1916. Cravan fled to Mexico to avoid the draft; when Loy's divorce from Stephen Haweis was final she followed him, and they married in Mexico City. Here, they lived in poverty, and years later, Loy would write of their destitution.
Once Loy became pregnant, the couple realized they needed to leave Mexico. A few months later, Cravan set sail for Buenos Aires in a small yacht as Loy watched from the beach. He sailed over the horizon, disappeared without a trace, never to be seen again. Their daughter was born April 1919.
