    Synopsis

    The eight Russian women of the title are Catherine the Great, Princess Catherine Dashkova, Marie Bashkirtseff, the Countess of Ségur, Nathalie Sarraute, Iréne Némirovsky, Elsa Triolet, and Zoe Oldenbourg. Poulton (French and Russian, U. of Wisconsin-LaCrosse) examines these authors' French writings, their lives, and the history of Russian contact with France to present a rich analysis of Russian notions of France and its culture. The writers span the 17th through the early 20th century, providing a comprehensive overview of this theme. Annotation c. Book News, Inc.,Portland, OR
