My Take
What strikes me about Bettina von Arnim is the sheer range of a woman operating in late-18th-century Germany. Writer, composer, singer, illustrator, salonnière, patron, social activist, she refused to be confined to a single role at a time when women were rarely allowed even one in public life. I admire that she published under her own name and used her salon to lift up younger talent rather than just decorate a room. Born in Frankfurt in 1785 and active until her death at 73, she reads to me as a connector and an instigator, someone whose energy probably reshaped every circle she entered.
