The second daughter of a Bavarian duke and princess, Sisi met her husband, Emperor Franz Joseph I, when she was a teenager in the summer of 1853. Franz Joseph was supposed to marry Sisi’s older sister, but the girls were coming from a funeral when they met, and Sisi looked more beautiful in black.
Sisi hands out candied violets to patients who flatter her at a mental hospital, where less privileged women are observed for afflictions the empress empathizes with — like melancholy and adultery. In Kreutzer’s research, she found that books and museums about Sisi refrain from naming her eating disorder for what it was, ironically leaving her to be remembered as image-obsessed in perpetuity. “What she did and did not eat and how little she ate is in every biography,” she says.
