    Thanks for this brief but well-summarized bio of Stein. A great intro for anyone who wants to know a bit about her and hopefully prompts then to read both some of her works and works about her.

    She has an interesting gravestone at Pere lachaise cemetery. Her name is on one side and Alice B. Toklas' name is on the opposite side.
