EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this intriguing photograph is Lucie Delarue-Mardrus (1874-1945), a groundbreaking writer, poet, and intrepid traveler whose unconventional life defied the social norms of her time. Delarue-Mardrus penned over 70 books, including works on lesbian love, a subject that challenged societal expectations. Her personal life was equally unconventional, as she was married for fifteen years but also had relationships with women. In this image, Delarue-Mardrus exudes a sense of casual practicality, dressed in masculine garb that includes puttees, boots, and a hooded jacket. Her appearance is reminiscent of an explorer or pioneer, ready to embark on an adventure. The outdoor setting further emphasizes her adventurous spirit. Despite the constraints of the 1910s, Delarue-Mardrus refused to compromise her identity or her beliefs. Her unapologetic embrace of her sexuality and her love of travel made her a pioneer in her own right. This photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of a woman who lived her life on her own terms, defying societal expectations and paving the way for future generations to do the same.
