Description: "If the way of life of the bourgeois families has attracted the attention of historians, the originality is here to seize the rise of a line of doctors and engineers from the Morvan in the nineteenth century. From an exceptional corpus of women's letters, a mirror is tended to the ambition of these women who bear the academic, intellectual and professional ambition of their husbands, sons and brothers, while assuming the management of the home." --Translated from back cover
