Publisher's Synopsis
With the exception Of Charlotte Corday, that personification of the Marseillaise - who had the whole stage to herself for one sublime moment - none of the women whose strangely contrasted lives are recorded in this book can be said to occupy a conspicuous niche in the history of their times. Nevertheless, what they lack in public importance, which too Often possesses only a political significance, they make up in private or human interest......... W. R. H. Trowbridge (Born: 1866, Died: 1938, London, United Kingdom) Trowbridge, W. R. H. (William Rutherford Hayes).
