A Daughter of the Seine: The Life of Madame Roland by Jeanette Eaton is a powerful and accessible biography of one of the most influential women of the French Revolution. Awarded a Newbery Honor in 1930, the book introduces young readers to the extraordinary life and tragic fate of Madame Jeanne-Marie Roland, a courageous and articulate voice in a time of political upheaval.
Born into modest circumstances along the Seine River in Paris, Madame Roland rose through education, intellect, and determination to become a key figure in the revolutionary movement. As the wife of a government minister and a host of political salons, she influenced some of the most important thinkers and leaders of her time.
Eaton presents Roland not only as a historical figure, but as a deeply human character -- fierce, intelligent, principled, and passionate about liberty. Her commitment to revolutionary ideals ultimately led to her arrest and execution during the Reign of Terror, making her a martyr for the cause of freedom.
Written in a vivid and engaging narrative style, the biography brings history to life while exploring complex themes of justice, gender, and political conviction.
A Daughter of the Seine remains a compelling introduction to biography, revolution, and the enduring power of one woman's voice.
