Isabelle de Charri�re, born in 1740 to a Dutch aristocratic family, wrote several novels critical of rigid social conventions. She lived most of her life in Switzerland. Emma Rooksby has a Doctorate of Philosphy from Murdoch University.
"Well written; Rooksby ably explores the complex issues underlying
the story of these Trois Femmes." --French Review
"Isabelle de Charri�re is rightly prominent in the series and Trois
femmes is an important work from the Revolutionary decade which
will stimulate much debate in the classroom." --Modern Language
