Just in time for Bastille Day, comes the untold st

Just in time for Bastille Day, comes the untold story of Eugénie de Montijo, a 19th-century woman who was instrumental in advancing women’s rights in France. While many thought of her as purely the wife of Emperor Napoleon III, she was so much more than that. The incredibly well-researched biography, co-written by Petie Kladstrub and Evelyne Resnick, is a must-read for anyone interested in French history, the fight for women’s rights, or fellow Francophiles.

Do you have to enjoy the book while eating macarons? Perhaps not, but I know that made me savor the book even more. Happy Bastille Day!
