Madame Roland: A Biographical Study by Ida Minerva Tarbell traces the life of Manon Phlipon Roland, later Madame Roland, a central figure of the French Revolution's inner circle. Tarbell examines her early education in Paris, her pious upbringing, and her reading that shaped her ideals, including Plutarch and Rousseau. The narrative follows her marriage to Roland de la Platière, their life at Le Clos, and their ascent into revolutionary politics as she influences salons and debates in Lyons and Paris. Tarbell details Madame Roland's political outlook, her advocacy for complete regeneration, and her leadership within the Gironde circle, as well as her personal loyalties, including her relationships with Roland, Buzot, and others. The biography also covers her imprisonment during the Reign of Terror, her stoic endurance, and her execution at the guillotine, leaving behind a legacy that illuminates the role of women in political movements of the era.
