French Royal Women during the Restoration and July Monarchy

Více o knize

Focusing on the influential roles of four prominent royal women in France during the Restoration and July Monarchy, the book delves into how their narratives shaped public discourse on royal legitimacy. It highlights the constraints placed on women in post-revolutionary France, preventing them from openly wielding political power. By examining the use of national history by historians, authors, and politicians, the work reveals how these figures were portrayed to either support or challenge the monarchy and to define women's societal roles.
