Jeanne Le Guin

Jeanne Le Guin knows who she is. Subtle, cultured and disciplined, she has all the qualities of a patrician daughter from the upper middle class of the Upper Rhine, where the bright girl attended a humanistic grammar school. Jeanne’s mind, lively and clear as a mountain spring, and equally persistent in its strength, aspired to the highest academic honours, which allow her to move at the height of global discourse. The young intellectual maintains a critical distance from her peers. Her analytical coolness inevitably led her to contradictions within and outside the system, which mobilised her quick wit and emotional intelligence. On the Olympus of science, a young woman must be as combative and indomitable as Artemis – which, in Jeanne’s case, makes her as attractive as the aloof goddess. Jeanne’s subtle charm is neither cool nor chaste. She is simply the most dangerous creature in the world: an educated woman.

Jeanne Le Guinn about herself.

I don’t settle for second best. I am aware of my privileges and I make the most of them. La vie citoyenne is a matter of course for me: newspapers and debates, theatre and galas, receptions and glamorous parties. My Zurich haute volée in their sky-high understatement, quiet luxury with vintage champagne in the chalet… But things only get really interesting for me when I’m where the air is too thin for the average person. On the peaks of Global Academia, with truly challenging debates. Or travelling through the vastness of Asia, hiking alone in the Himalayas for months on end, meditating in an ashram – the most extravagant escapism! Because I have prioritised and explicitly sought out sexual experience and physical exchange since my early years, and have always done so with all genders, I live in erotic autonomy. At the core of my being lies a quiet self-assurance from which this profound, well-considered rebellion rises, triggering feelings of elation. The deep connection between struggle and pleasure. My body is the crosshairs I aim at the target of my desire, and my will is the unstoppable arrow – come to the summit of freedom with me!
