Between sumptuous celebrations and daily life, representation and intimacy, petty intrigues and grand politics, what kind of Versailles did women live in for over three centuries?
This book offers a history of the Palace of Versailles through the women who left their mark on the place, from Maria Theresa of Austria, the self-effacing wife of the Sun King, to the influential mistresses of Louis XV, from the mischievousness of the young Marie-Adélaïde of Savoy to the sovereign poise of Marie Leszczynska, from her eight daughters - the irreducible Mesdames - to Marie-Antoinette, dauphine and then queen, not forgetting the friends, superintendents, ladies-in-waiting, ladies-in-waiting and palace ladies, merchants and artists.
