	Natalie Clifford Barney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Barney was also infamous for her many conquests in love, including poet Renee Vivien, dancer Liane de Pougy and painter Romaine Brooks.
		Barney was involved briefly around 1917 with Sylvia Beach, who co-founded the bookshop Shakespeare and Company with Adrienne Monnier, whom she met through Barney and who would become Beach's lifelong lesbian partner.
		Barney, however, was notoriously promiscuous in her lesbian affairs, and continued to see other women (her lovers during that time included Liane de Pougy and Colette).

		Barney was not merely the muse of other writers, but a poet, memoirist, and epigrammatist in her own right.
		Natalie Barney died on April 24, 1972, at the age of ninety-five in the same house at 20 rue Jacob where she had lived and run her salon for more than fifty years.

	Natalie Barney
		Barney's second major affair was with Renée Vivien with whom she dreamed of founding a colony of women poets on the isle of Lesbos.
		Barney was born in 1876 to a wealthy Ohio family descended from railroad tycoons, naval heroes, judges, and bank presidents.
		Natalie, however, preferred to do the courting, and, as her interest in men was only "from the neck up," it was women who received her favors.

	Quiet Mountain Essays; "The Era of Natalie Barney" by Nevenka Zovko; June Essay
		Barney was wild and rebellious and was not afraid to defy the conventions and traditions of society.
		Natalie loved the feminine and was at a complete loss to understand why a woman would want to look like a man. Natalie objected to any form of dress behavior that suggested that lesbians were really men trapped in women's bodies.
		Natalie Barney was an advocate of the equal social and economic rights of women before the women's liberation movement existed, and she had never made a secret of her preference for her own sex.

		Natalie Clifford Barney arrived in Paris in 1902, and unlike many expatriates who eventually returned to their home countries, she stayed there until her death in 1972.
		Barney had a near-native command of French, which enabled her to write several volumes of poetry and prose in French throughout her life.
		Barney was perhaps most well known for her charm and charisma, as well as for the decidedly female-centered salons she hosted on Friday nights for some sixty years.

	D2 Press- Cool Dead People -
		Natalie was not the type of woman who would ask others to do what she was unwilling to do herself, therefore, her peers reveled in her ability to take a blow as well as deliver one.
		Natalie was referred to by her one-time lover, Lucie Delarue- Mardus as a "poet, philosopher, ironist that was courageous, scornful, mysterious, subtle, grand, sophistical, sardonic, and aristocratic".
		Barney's salon closed its doors in 1968, when Barney herself reached the age of 92; this was just seven years after her last love affair began.

		Ostensibly a poet, Barney insisted that "living was the first of all the arts" and she poured her energy into her ambition "to make my life itself into a poem".
		Barney came from a wealthy American family and, by temperament and upbringing, was utterly self-centred.
		Barney felt the most certain way to lose the one you loved was to live in passionate intimacy in the same house and the same bed.

	Jeanette Winterson - Journalism - The Times - Romaine Brookes and Natalie Barney
		She centres the drama around Natalie Barney and Romaine Brooks, who met in Paris in 1915, when they were both in their forties, and whose unconventional relationship lasted for more than fifty years.
		Romaine Brooks was as tortured as Natalie was tolerant.
		When Natalie died in 1972, a new wave of feminism was just beginning, but it is unlikely that Natalie would have recognised it as the way forward - she never wanted a share of the male world, she wanted to change it completely.

		She deals with the romantic complications of Barney's life, especially a long affair with painter Romaine Brooks, with grace, and delineates the contradictions in Barney's life, such as espousing a glib anti-Semitism even as she was being harassed by the Nazis because of her Jewish heritage.
		Natalie's lovers continued to write about her for decades -- sometimes impishly (Colette), or with brutal honesty (Lucie Delarue-Mardrus), or with a disturbing mixture of anger, worship, and grief (the tragic poet René Vivien).
		Barney, who defied societal conventions to live her life exactly as she wished, was a deeply contradictory person, and could be both warm and giving, yet cold and selfish.

		Natalie in Fur Cape, 1897, by Alice Pike Barney.
		With formidable grace, exquisite manners, and a good deal of style, Natalie Clifford Barney shattered the mores of Victorian America, shocked Belle Époque Paris, and was the subject of ceaseless speculation and tittle-tattle from her teens until her death at ninety-six.
		All this simply because she had the courage to say: "I will live as I choose." Long before rebellion was viewed as a youthful rite of passage, Natalie didn't hesitate to rebel against convention.

		"Natalie fell in love with a school friend when she was 16, at a time when her family lived in Washington, D.C. and she was being courted for her beauty and inheritance by more than a few young men.
		Albert Barney was so eager to get back to his beloved London and so bored with the business of parenting that he left Natalie at a boarding house under scant supervision, supposing her to be occupied with shopping and fittings for a gown for her Washington debut.
		Natalie refused to pass up any chance for pleasure that came her way; Renee eventually left her for another woman.

		Like the two women who made up the duality of Michael Field, Olive Custance and Natalie Barney each moved in worlds of social privilege which masked the political inequalities between men and women.
		There was an aristocratic vein of aestheticism at the turn of the century in which the socially elect pursued dreams of unlimited sensual gratification, a cloudy world of erotic royalty, where all the players could aspire to be prince or princess, and where ordinary human suffering was banished from the picture.
