Abstract

A Great French Woman
July 13, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "Madame Adam," by Winifred Stephens. The biography has a double value in that it portrays sympathetically a figure fascinating in herself, who, at the same time, has been intimately associated with French politics and society for the last two generations. The biography is well put together, partly from the personal knowledge of Stephens, partly from the seven volumes of Madame Adam's "Souvenirs." From one source or the other a succession of anecdotes, personalities, witty conversations, and a running commentary on the history of modern France are derived.
