Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book probes the societal expectations and experiences of women in 18th century France, through the lens of their marriages. The author highlights the stark contrast between the sheltered lives young women led before marriage, and the sudden immersion into a world of social obligations and sexual freedom. While arranged marriages were the norm, this book challenges the notion that these unions were entirely loveless, revealing the complexities and surprising dynamics that played out within them. By examining letters, memoirs, and cultural artifacts of the time, the author paints a vivid picture of a society where women found their role and identity amidst the constraints and opportunities of their time, providing a fascinating glimpse into the lives of women whose stories have been largely lost to history.
