Marie-Jeanne Riccoboni was a bestselling 18th-Century writer—one of the first female authors who managed to finance an independent life away from her abusive husband thanks to her writing. Her novels explore the impossible choices that women in pre-Revolutionary France faced. Translators Kate Deimling and Karen Santos Da Silva will discuss Riccobboni’s protofeminism, unique style, and the challenges of rendering her prose for modern English-language readers.
