About this ebook
In her life she had two women intimate partners; the first she lived for forty years, and the second entered her life after the death of her first partner. After she had chosen to never become an add-on or appendage to a man, she decided in principle that she would be her boss and that she could lean on herself and her talents. Bonheur's legacy paved the way for other female artists who did not compromise their autonomy and the prejudice of society towards women.

Foreword
Rosa Bonheur was native from Bordeaux, France, the biggest child in the family of artists. Her mother was a piano teacher; she died when Rosa was eleven. Her father was a landscape painter and portrait artist who encouraged her daughter's creative talents. Although of Jewish origin, the Bonheur family adhered to Saint-Simonianism, a Christian-socialist sect that promotes women's education on a par with men.
