I have a question about a claim in the second paragraph. What is the source for the claim that EDG was "openly bisexual?" As far as I know, EDG had one sexual fling with a man besides her husband (his name was Albert Flament) before spending the rest of her life, after 1909, predominantly if not exclusively lesbian. I am not aware of EDG defining her own sexual identity as bisexual. As for openness, she was reported to be openly lesbian by her biographer, Francesco Rapazzini. Would it be worth working on citations for that? Suzanne Stroh (talk) 17:22, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In the first paragraph, what is the citation for Janet Flanner's comment? Suzanne Stroh (talk) 17:24, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Finally, consider this sentence in the article: "She died in Paris and is buried at Ancy-le-Franc, near the family castle of Clermont-Tonnerre." Ancy-le-France is nowhere near the Clermont castle. They are not even int he same region of France.Suzanne Stroh (talk) 04:41, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello all. I am the translator of Francesco Rapazzini's definitive French biography of EDG, "Elisabeth de Gramont: avant-gardiste" (Paris: Fayard, 2004, 660pp). I would be more than happy to rewrite this page, which is incomplete, misleading on several subjects and incorrect on a few. I would appreciate guidelines from other contributors about what information is of primary, secondary and tertiary interest. This will be my first Wikipedia page. Many thanks for your suggestions.

according to Liane de Pougy's Mes cahiers bleus, she was a sculptor

also, according to Judith Thurman's Colette bio, her memoirs were considered by Gertrude Stein and Walter Benjamin as practically on a level with Proust. 92.41.116.67 (talk) 19:34, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
