The Lady, Part Two

In 1788, on the eve of the French Revolution, society was in turmoil. The beheaded Queen Marie lived in luxury at Versailles, Napoleon was still only a second lieutenant in the artillery, and Madame Roland's reputation as a gifted woman was well known... Revolutionaries plotted to overthrow the monarchy, commoners couldn't afford even a loaf of bread, tensions among the Third Estate grew ever more severe, the Catholic Church busied itself collecting tithes, and the Enlightenment was flourishing... Stepping down from a shabby sailboat, Ivy stood alone, bewildered, gazing around this unfamiliar country and ancient era... From a condemned prisoner stranded in a foreign land to a powerful minister of parliament. Establishing a constitutional monarchy, promoting the Industrial Revolution, reforming the economic system, and, most importantly, igniting the women's rights movement!
