		Sisi remained consciously individualistic and dedicated herself exclusively to her self-expression and physical beauty.

		Sisi was born a Wittelsbach, a member of the Bavarian royal house, which itself was sufficiently ancient to snub most of the crowned heads of Europe as new-comers, including Victoria's family which came from the insignificant province of Hannover.
		Sisi was the first exercise freak of modern times: she had a gym set up in her palace bedroom so that she could work off the first ounce of fat that dared appear.
		Sisi hated the formal dinners, the balls, the "Spanish etiquette" which regulated who could speak to whom and what could be said.

		The challenge to take a stand to often walk solitary paths, and yet to gain victory, serves as role model for joint female self-determination-at the onset of the new millennium just as much (even under different auspices) as one hundred years ago.
