The woman on my Mothers side of the family have always been exceptionally strong and many led exceptional lives which were often paired with deep tragedy. We boast such women as Zoe Obolensky , Lover, mistress and Patron of Russian revolutionary and anarchist Mikhail Bakunin. My great great grandmother, sister to Leo Tolstoy’s wife was in part inspiration for the book Anna Karenina. Obviously she did not die under a train but actually left her husband, taking her daughter(not a son) with her, and married her lover who she had two more girls and a boy with.
