Dancer and writer Liane de Pougy died #OTD 1950 (b1869). She based her 1901 novel Idylle Saphique, a classic of #lesbian literature, on her affair with Natalie Clifford Barney. Twice-married (her 1st husband's physical abuse left her scarred for life) she ended her days as a nun. https://t.co/7ZPOaLhHKJ
