The Extra Ordinary Women of France
By Peter Hunt
0 - Default Title
Description
France honours its famous people who have died by interring them in a mausoleum called the Panthéon in Paris. At the time of writing, there were 81 of these famous people interred there. After a visit, I suddenly realised that, of these 81 people, only 6 were women - Sophie Berthelot, Marie Curie, Genevieve de Gaulle Authonioz, Germaine Tillion, Josephine Baker and Simone Veil.
This set me off on a voyage of discovery through French history and I found 21 women of extraordinary influence, some of the present day, whom I thought merited their place in the mausoleum.
This book celebrates the lives of all 27 women - women who, in my opinion, were and are extraordinary and all of whom had a unique influence on French history or culture or the arts, sometimes all three.
Extra ordinary!
