The Original Girl On a Motorcycle

Anke Eve Goldmann  who is  the inspiration behind La Motocyclette the book behind the movie  originally  written by surrealest  author  Andre Pieyre de Mandiagrues who was friends with Anke, she was the first lady rider to wear a one piece motorcycle suit  which she designed  alongside  German manufactors Harro.. I would like to read Andres book  which apparently took France by storm when it came out .. I wonder if book and the  film differ  much?. Anke  herself was a  journalist and a sportswoman and helped in the creation of  The Womens  International  Motorcycles   Association in 1958.
