The first biography of Bonheur was published during her lifetime: a pamphlet written by [[Eugène de Mirecourt]], ''Les Contemporains: Rosa Bonheur,'' which appeared just after her Salon success with ''The Horse Fair'' in 1856.<ref>[[Eugène de Mirecourt]], ''Les Contemporains: Rosa Bonheur'' (Paris: Gustave Havard, 15 Rue Guénégaud, 1856) 20.</ref> Bonheur later corrected and annotated this document.{{citation needed|reason=no citation given|date=March 2016}}

The 1905 book ''[[Women Painters of the World]]'' (assembled and edited by [[Walter Shaw Sparrow]]) was subtitled "from the time of [[Catherine of Bologna|Caterina Vigri]], 1413–1463, to Rosa Bonheur and the present day".

The second account was written by [[Anna Elizabeth Klumpke|Anna Klumpke]], Bonheur's companion in the last year of her life. Klumpke's biography, published in 1909 as ''Rosa Bonheur: sa vie, son oeuvre,'' was translated in 1997 by Gretchen Van Slyke and published as ''Rosa Bonheur: The Artist's (Auto)biography,'' so-named because Klumpke had used Bonheur's [[First-person narrative|first-person]] voice.<ref>Anna Klumpke, ''Rosa Bonheur: Sa Vie, Son Oeuvre'', (Paris: E.

''Reminiscences of Rosa Bonheur'', edited by [[Theodore Stanton]] (the son of [[Elizabeth Cady Stanton]]), was published in London and New York in 1910. It includes numerous correspondences between Bonheur and her family and friends, in which she describes her art-making practices.<ref>Theodore Stanton, ''Reminiscences of Rosa Bonheur'', (New York: D.
