Description: "What are the different aspects of women at the time of the Sun King? Queens, princesses, favorites, what may be their power on the political scene? How did the presence of women at the court of Louis XIV change and influence society? What was fashionable dress? These are questions that the book tries to shed light on the basis of a rich iconography: paintings, prints, books (including loans from Versailles, the Louvre, the Carnavalet Museum, and the National Library of France)."
Notes: Published on the occasion of an exhibition held at the Musée-Promenade de Marly-le-Roi, Louveciennes, October 3, 2015-February 14, 2016.
