羅莎．波妮爾是十九世紀法國最知名的女性畫家，以描繪動物的作品廣受喜愛。她過著與時代規範不同的生活，不僅穿著褲裝、抽菸、狩獵，也與女性伴侶一同生活。本書由她的好友與伴侶安娜．克倫普克記錄下她的生命故事，穿插波妮爾親述的回憶，呈現她對藝術、性別與自由的獨特理解，是一部關於創作與真實人生的動人記錄。Hailed by her contemporaries as the most popular animal-painter, male or female, of the nineteenth century, the French artist Rosa Bonheur (1822-99) lived to see her name become a household word.

Coupling her own memories with Bonheur's first-person account, Anna Klumpke, a young Ameri
