This replica edition features all the original illustrations, hard to come by in other recent versions. It will delight both readers of history and lovers of beautiful, classic books. Volume VII: "Great Women" covers: • Heloise and love • Joan of Arc and heroic women • Saint Theresa and religious enthusiasm • Madame de Maintenon: the political woman • Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough: the woman of the world • women in literature • women in politics • the education of women • George Eliot: woman as novelist • and more |
