"Une grande dame de la cour de Louis XV: La duchesse d'Aiguillon (1726-1796)" by Paul d'Estrée and Albert Callet is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the life and significance of the duchesse d'Aiguillon, depicting her role and influence during a tumultuous era in French history, particularly during the reigns of Louis XV and Louis XVI. The narrative emphasizes her relationships and the political backdrop surrounding her life, illustrating the complexities of court life and her husband’s political struggles. At the start of the text, the authors introduce the duchesse d’Aiguillon, describing her family background and comparing her life with that of the duchesse de Choiseul. The opening emphasizes the disparity in historical recognition between the two duchesses despite their similar social positions and experiences. The authors provide insights into the duchesse d’Aiguillon's character as an intelligent and supportive spouse, involved in her husband's political career while reflecting on the trials and hardships they faced, including the societal challenges stemming from the political climate of the time. Additionally, the text touches on themes of loyalty, ambition, and the influence of women in a historical context often dominated by male figures. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
