Kurt Wolff said of her, “No woman has radiated a stronger or more direct influence in German-speaking lands in the last 150 years than this Lou Von Salomé from Petersburg”

She was the woman who might never be known..

Salomé stood for women’s difference rather than an idea of equality given by the men’s world. A woman is not liberated if she becomes like a man or merely on the level with men in a man’s world; she is masculinized. The liberated woman feminizes the world and brings men to discover and mine the feminine sides of themselves, which psychologically run as deep as their masculinity. However, ironically, Salomé was more of an equal to the men of her world than Simone de Beauvoir was with Sartre and the men in her world.
