Profession: Globetrotter. Isabelle’s to and fro between Switzerland, France and the Maghreb, over there dressed up as a man, is the portrait of a most particular and venturous woman, to whom fits well the dictum: Life is what you make of it – you alone. In Eberhardt’s case a short life, marked by an excessive use of alcohol and drugs. She died at the age von twenty seven. One of her biographers is Edmonde Charles-Roux.
