Lou Andreas-Salomé

Lou Andreas-Salomé (née Louise von Salomé) (February 12, 1861 in St. Petersburg – January 5, 1937 in Göttingen) was a Russian-born psychoanalyst and author. Her diverse intellectual interests led to friendships with a broad array of distinguished western luminaries, including Nietzsche, Wagner, Freud, and Rilke. Lou Salomé ( born Luíza Gustavovna Salomé - Луиза Густавовна Саломе) was born in St. Petersburg to an army general and his wife. Salomé was their only daughter; she had five brothers. Although she would later be attacked by the Nazis as a "Finnish Jewess," her parents were actually of French Huguenot and Northern German descent.

Louise Labee

Fille et femme de riches cordiers, son surnom de «belle cordière» est fort explicable. Louise Labé, femme de lettres surtout poétesse, ravissante joueuse de luth qui s\'initia au latin, à l\'italien et à la musique, était aussi une amazone pour qui l\'escrime ou l\'équitation n\'avaient aucun secret. Par surcroit, l\'une des premières féministes de l\'histoire, Louise Labé ne laisse personne indifférent. La belle cordière tenait «bureau d\'esprit» dans sa maison à Lyon. Le domicile de Louise Labé était le rendez-vous de la société la plus distinguée et la plus lettrée. Les artistes, des avocats, des érudits, de riches Italiens figuraient aussi dans ce cénacle.
