In seventeenth-century France, aristocratic women were valued by
their families as commodities to be married off in exchange for
money, social advantage, or military alliance. Once married, they
became legally subservient to their husbands. The duchesse de
Montpensier--a first cousin of Louis XIV--was one of very few
exceptions, thanks to the vast wealth she inherited from her
mother, who died shortly after Montpensier was born. She was also
one of the few politically powerful women in France at the time to
have been an accomplished writer.
