Paperback. Condition: Good. Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette was this century's first modern woman.

She bared her breast to raucous applause in the French music-hall and became a celebrity of the lesbian demimonde. Until her death in 1954, she continued to rewrite the rules for loving, working, and aging. At the end of the century, her life and work still have the power to challenge the norms.…
