  The memoirs of Hortense (1646-99) and Marie (1639-1715) Mancini, members of court of Louis XIV, represent earliest examples in France of memoirs published by women under their own names during their lifetimes. This title chronicles the beginnings of women's rights within the confines of an otherwise circumscribed early modern aristocratic society.
