Nancy Goldstone recounts the lives of Empress Maria Theresa and three of her daughters: Maria Christina, Maria Carolina, and Marie Antoinette. Across courts in Vienna, Brussels, Naples, and Versailles, these women confronted war, dynastic marriage, political responsibility, revolution, and the limits placed on female power. Goldstone combines family history with the wider transformation of eighteenth-century Europe, showing how affection, rivalry, ambition, and imperial strategy shaped four remarkable lives whose choices reached far beyond the palace walls.
