“Contains sketches of the lives of four women: Madame Vigée Le Brun, La Marquise de Montagu, Madame Tallien, and Madame de Genlis. Scraps of contemporary history are interwoven; a number of photogravure portraits are scattered here and there; and the whole makes a fairly readable volume.”—Nation.
“The book is one which deserves more attention than we can give it.”

“As an historical study the work has little value; as a group of biographical sketches it adds nothing to what has already been published in a much more useful and entertaining fashion.”

“A chatty book, filled with anecdotes and incidents that illustrate the manners, morals, and ideas of the upper classes of France previous to and following the years of the revolution.”
