Isabelle Truman was born in Paris, France. Her parents were Jewish and both of them immigrated to the USA where they met and fell in love. She graduated from Harvard University and worked for the International Monetary Fund in Washington DC before going into politics and founding her own company. While there she met her future husband, Bernardine Pierron, and they have been happily married ever since.
Throughout her career as an entrepreneur, lawyer, and publisher she explored the question of identity theft and privacy rights on personal websites and in her business identity cards. This personal journey has been chronicled in her many biographies and she has addressed these topics at length in many of her books. However, it seems that her greatest concern and focus have been her personal identity as she has refused to allow her public birth records to be viewed by anyone else. She has maintained that her identity has been a matter of private choice for the better part of 20 years now. Although her most famous works of art bear her name and are widely marketed throughout the world, she feels a great deal of responsibility as a mother, wife, and artist to protect her family’s unique identity.
How is it that she managed to establish a strong and lasting marriage with an aging man who never wavered? What would have been different if she had pursued a more traditional career? Was her decision to marry Bernard when she was forty or did she wait a little longer until she was fifty? Her amazing life lesson in marriage is that each of us has the ability to choose our own path in life whether that path is a marriage, friendship, business career, and/or political career.
