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.
Rosa Bonheur moved to Paris at six years of age with her mother and her brothers and sisters, and her father went before them to establish their domicile and income. Her mother taught her to read by giving her the choice and drawing of a different animal for each letter of the alphabet. Already as
