Heroines of French Society
In the Court, the Revolution, the Empire, and the Restoration
Description:... In the histories of the four women whose lives are here related, I have tried, as far as is possible in the limited space, to give an idea of the various ways in which the Revolutionary tempest at the close of the eighteenth century and the eventful years which preceded and followed it, affected, and were regarded by, persons of the different parties and classes to which they belonged.
- Catherine Mary Charlton Bearne
