# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Russia on 12 February 1861 to a French Huguenot-German family, she carried a cosmopolitan restlessness from the start. Her mind pulled her into philosophy first: Friedrich Nietzsche proposed marriage, Paul Rée completed a famous intellectual triangle, and the friction of those years made her a writer. She turned to essays and narrative, then eventually to Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis, becoming a practitioner in her own right. Rainer Maria Rilke was another chapter—poet, lover, correspondent. She died on 5 February 1937, having crossed more borders and disciplines than most people meet in a lifetime.
