Place reservation for The rebel empresses : Elisabeth of Austria and Eugenie of France, power and glamour in the struggle for EuropeWhen they married Emperors Franz Joseph and Napoleon III, respectively, Elisabeth of Austria and Eugenie of France became two of the most famous women on the planet. Not only were they both young and beautiful, but they played a pivotal role in ruling their realms during a tempestuous era characterized by unprecedented political and technological change. Fearless, adventurous, and independent, Elisabeth and Eugenie represented a new kind of empress - one who rebelled against tradition and anticipated and embraced modern values. Yet both women endured hardship in their private and public lives. Between them, Elisabeth and Eugenie were involved in every major international confrontation in their turbulent century, which witnessed thrilling technological advances, as well as revolutions, assassinations, and wars. In this book, Nancy Goldstone brings to life these two remarkable women.
