That Wharton, who was fluent in German, chose to saddle her lily-like heroine with a beard—in German, Bart—points toward the gender inversions that the author engaged in to make her difficult life livable and her private life story writable, as well as toward other forms of inversion, such as giving Lily the looks that she didn’t have and denying her the money that she did have.
El hecho de que Wharton, que dominaba el alemán, decidiera endosar a su heroína, bella como un lirio, una barba (pues eso significa en alemán su apellido, Bart), señala las inversiones de género que la autora practicó para hacer su difícil cotidianidad soportable y su vida privada apta para contarse, y también otras formas de inversión, como la de otorgar a Lily una belleza de la que Wharton carecía y negarle el dinero que sí tenía.
