Empress Eugenie ruled France and shaped fashion, but was she to blame for the empire’s fall?

About the Event

Empress Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III, rose from suspicion to a beloved fashion icon during France’s Second Empire. She wielded influence in politics and style, but as war with Prussia led to France’s downfall, critics blamed her. Was she truly at fault, or was she a scapegoat for a doomed empire?

Presented by Carol Chapman, a Wyoming-based writer and speaker who brings to life the stories of remarkable women from history, will present this interactive lecture.
