Lou Andreas-Salomé was born in St. Petersburg, Russia,
but lived most of her life in Germany as a famous novelist,
memoirist (of Rilke, Nietzsche, and Ibsen), friend to Freud,
and critic. She was praised by Freud as the smartest woman
he had ever met, and prized by Rilke as “one of the most
wonderful people who have come my way ... without the influence
of this extraordinary woman my whole development would not
have been able to take the paths that have led to many things.” Salomé wrote
her memoir of Rilke in 1927, a year after his death.
