The ideals of the French Revolution inflamed a longing for
liberty and equality within courageous, freethinking women of the
era--women who played vital roles in the momentous events that
reshaped their nation and the world. In "Liberty," Lucy Moore
paints a vivid portrait of six extraordinary Frenchwomen from
vastly different social and economic backgrounds who helped stoke
the fervor and idealism of those years, and who risked everything
to make their mark on history.
Germaine de Stael was a wealthy, passionate Parisian
intellectual--as consumed by love affairs as she was by
politics--who helped write the 1791 Constitution. Theroigne de
Mericourt was an unhappy courtesan who fell in love with
revolutionary ideals. Exuberant, decadent Theresia Tallien was a
ruthless manipulator instrumental in engineering Robespierre's
downfall. Their stories and others provide a fascinating new
perspective on one of history's most turbulent epochs.
