Winnaretta Singer-Polignac wasn’t just shaping culture for generations to come while she was living in Paris and London - she also had quite a few lesbian lovers, and every single one of them was a remarkable woman with a few wild love stories of their own: the suffragette and composer Ethel Smythe, the painter Romaine Brooks, the socialite and writer Violet Trefusis, and so many more. We’ve collected them all here in a marathon tour of over 30 years of Winnaretta’s love affairs!
