Bohemian Lives follows the story, achievements & sacrifices of three extraordinary & completely different women & how their lives overlapped and contrasted, in education, childbirth, illness, marriage ‒ and psychological disintegration.
All three women had a huge influence on their more famous partner and challenged the accepted model of male-female relations of the time. A touching and sometimes harrowing read, their struggles for recognition in their own right hold a mirror up to the prejudices of an age - and what being 'bohemian' really meant.
