About This Item



Oversize paperback copy Sm. minutiae on its edges being shelved, appears to be lightly read if at all.. spine is un creased,extremely tight...Cover bright glossy. - Recounts the murder trial of Madame Caillaux, wife of a French cabinet minister, who shot Gaston Calmette, editor of Le Figaro and her husband's political enemy Simone de Beauvoir: A Biography.. Madame Caillaux -Society woman defends herself in charges of murder by using mainstream assumptions of gender, that she was too feminine to have intended to kill, will cause many to question the use and significance of gender constructions. Does Madame Caillaux deserve her fate? Berenson lets you be the judge. It's defintely a thought-provoking, enjoyable read. A well-crafted work of microhistory, where the proceedings of the trial form the external structure. The shooting happened in March 1914, the trial took place in late July, at the very eve of the Great War. book is compelling, fascinating account of why, on the eve of WWI, the French found more to be at stake in this case.
