à la belle Étoile: The odyssey of Jeanne Baré

à la belle Étoile: The odyssey of Jeanne Baré

A blazing narrative of female self-empowerment and survival in late 1700s France. This book-length poem sequence gives voice to a woman almost lost to history, who, through a chance encounter with a botanist, dared to carve her own space in a man’s world.
