Madame Roland & The Age Of Revolution by Gita May Antique Book

     Biography of Madame Roland. Published in 1970. Book is antique so has some yellowing and the dust jacket has some wear.

     Jeanne Marie “Manon” Roland de la Platière (Paris, March 17, 1754 – Paris, November 8, 1793), born Jeanne Marie Phlipon, and best known under the name Madame Roland was a French revolutionary, salonnière and writer. Her letters and memoirs became famous for recording the state of mind that conditioned the events leading to the revolution. Madame Roland wrote her memoirs while she was imprisoned in the months before her execution. They are – like her letters – a valuable source of information about the first years of the French Revolution.
