Heroine Worship: Anna Pavlova, The Swan Discuss Anna Pavlova and other emblematic women in the forums. From The New York Times, Jan. 1931: Read the Britannica Online entry for ne of the first biographies I ever read was about Anna Pavlova. When I was 11, I took it out of the library, just before seriously beginning my own study of ballet. Even the name of this woman born half a world away had an enchanted quality to it: the two v's were winged water birds, and the word "love" - slightly in disguise, altered by an a - also made an appearance. Her story gripped me, of course. The legendary prima ballerina was born in St. Petersburg in 1881 during the cold whiteness of a Russian winter. When she was 8, her mother took her to a performance of "The Sleeping Beauty," and Anna experienced an epiphany - a baptism by ballet. This and only this was what she wanted to do with her life, and two years later she was admitted to the Imperial School of Ballet. Her exceptional gifts were immediately visible, and after graduating, at 18, she made her company debut in a pas de trois in "La Fille Mal Gardee"; she never danced in the corps de ballet.
