This is the story of the glamorous French Empress who escaped from a vengeful mob in 1870 and spent the next fifty years in exile in England. Aided by the increased digitalisation of sources which produced many new and interesting discoveries, the book features 53 images of the important people and places.Eugenie was born in a makeshift tent during an earthquake in Southern Spain but this impetuous and beautiful young woman's life changed dramatically when she married Napoleon III in 1853. With a broad brush approach to the political events it shows her life and times from a different angle, exploring subjects often relegated to mere footnotes.
An early feminist with a social conscience, her achievements were negated by many She was to become a worldwide fashion icon but was much more than a trophy wife even though she suffered from a philandering husband.
