Colette
The life and legacy of literatureās most artful self-creation: Colette.
French novelist Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (1873ā1954) was a strikingly modern celebrity. The most photographed author of the twentieth century, her marketing genius stretched from hair products themed after her most famous character to her own line of cosmetics. Beloved during her lifetime by critics on both the left and the right, and later embraced by feminists of the 1960s and ā70s, Coletteās works explored womenās lives, from schooling to careers, maternity, ageing and sexuality. Coletteās life was no less varied than her often self-referential works, including affairs with men and women, three marriages, a stage career and roles as a journalist and literary editor. Kathleen Antonioli explores Coletteās storied life, work, private correspondence and carefully crafted public persona.
