She was said to be “irrégulière”*…

Because she dared to have control over her own body, had many lovers, rejected the 'good thinking' of an era when women were seen as nothing more than charming accessories.

Because she liberated women's bodies, which had been tightly locked in corsets that suffocated their bodies and minds.

Because she imposed a new way of life, going against the grain, disrupting the norms of a society that feared her as much as it admired her.

Because she represented the emergence of a new woman who was creative, assertive, and knew how to think for herself.

Because she was able to transcend her original condition and forge her own unique path, off the tracks of others.

She was said to be “irrégulière”…She was simply a singular woman.

**In the 19th / beginning of 20th century, in France, we used to call “irrégulière” the married men’s mistresses.
