A Daughter of the Seine

Jeanette Eaton (1886 - 1968)

This biography of Madame Roland was written for young adults but can be equally enjoyed by adult readers. Madame Roland was a key figure in the French Revolution as both an author and a revolutionary. Her memoirs, written in prison as she awaited her execution by Jacobin leaders for her Girondist stance, are her most famous work. The author of this biography, Jeanette Eaton, wrote numerous books of history and biography for young adults, and was also a noted suffragist. Daughter of the Seine received the Newbery Award in 1930. - Summary by Ciufi Galeazzi
