Kathryn Hughes, Guardian \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA new biography of the wildly unconventional 19th-century animal painter and gender equality pioneer Rosa Bonheur, from the author of the acclaimed Mistress of Paris and Renoir's Dancer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRosa Bonheur was the very antithesis of the feminine ideal of 19th-century society. She was educated, she shunned traditional 'womanly' pursuits, she rejected marriage - and she wore trousers. But the society whose rules she spurned accepted her as one of their own, because of her genius for painting animals. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShe shared an intimate relationship with the eccentric, self-styled inventor Nathalie Micas, who nurtured the artist like a wife. Together Rosa, Nathalie and Nathalie's mother bought a chateau and with Rosa's menagerie of animals the trio became one of the most extraordinary households of the day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCatherine Hewitt's compelling new biography is an inspiring evocation of a life lived against the rules.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCatherine Hewitt studied at the Courtauld Institute of Art.
