Explanation
The history collects very little datas about Zelda: only her biography and how she was part of the life of her husband, Scott. However, the history has a lot of information about Scott and gives him a lot of merit for his work, although she was his inspiration in many of his successes. In addition, even though with her consent, Zelda's husband used numerous quotes from her diary in his books.
In the only novel she wrote, "Save me the waltz," she spoke of the struggle to earn the respect of others on her own merits and to establish herself independently of her husband, through the voice of the character Alabama Beggs. Due to the similarity between the fictitious couple in her book and the Fitzgeralds themselves, Scott forced her to eliminate the parts that contained material that he wanted to use in his works.
