This presentation will focus on the life of Adrienne Lafayette, wife of the Marquis de Lafayette, from her marriage in 1774 to her death in 1807. In three segments - American Revolution, French Revolution and Olmutz/Chateau LaGrange - the author will show how Adrienne challenged conventional mores and roles for women. Adrienne's involvement in her husband's political life was crucial to the pivotal revolutions of the 18th century. On a personal level, her courage, strength and ingenuity saved Lafayette's life, their son's life, and their family's future in France.
