Princess Marie Bonaparte, the great-granddaughter of the brother of Napoleon Bonaparte and one of Sigmund Freud's closest friends, did more to promote psychoanalysis than most of Freud's dedicated disciples.

It was she also who preserved part of the history of psychoanalysis by purchasing the letters Freud wrote to Wilhelm Fliess.
