Cross-dressing and living exclusively with other women, the animal-painter Rosa
Bonheur's high-profile lifestyle did nothing to inhibit her career -- as many
modern artists would understand.
No less an authority than Germaine Greer discusses the pattern that she provided
for other women seeking to make a career in the 19th Century art world in France
(The Obstacle Race, 1979).
