The Memoirs of Princess Dashkova

TRAMA

"Dashkova's life of extremes--fame and oblivion--and her candid self-revelation make this work interesting to all readers of female autobiography and Russian history."--Barbara Heldt, University of British Columbia "Dashkova's memoirs provide valuable insights into politics and court/aristocratic life that are not to be found elsewhere. Her fascinating account of life in (and after) the court of Catherine II is a unique and extremely important source for the study of 18th century Russia, all the more so today in light of feminist scholarship's foregrounding of writings by and about women."--Barbara T. Norton, Widener University
