520    "Six best-selling and award-winning authors bring to life 
       a breathtaking epic novel illuminating the hopes, desires,
       and destinies of princesses and peasants, harlots and 
       wives, fanatics and philosophers - six unforgettable women
       whose paths cross during one of the most tumultuous and 
       transformative events in history: the French Revolution. 
       Ribbons of Scarlet is a timely story of the power of women
       to start a revolution - and change the world. In late 18th
       -century France, women do not have a place in politics. 
       But as the tide of revolution rises, women from gilded 
       salons to the streets of Paris decide otherwise - upending
       a world order that has long oppressed them. Blue-blooded 
       Sophie de Grouchy believes in democracy, education, and 
       equal rights for women and marries the only man in Paris 
       who agrees. Emboldened to fight the injustices of King 
       Louis XVI, Sophie aims to prove that an educated populace 
       can govern itself - but one of her students, fruit-seller 
       Louise Audu, is hungrier for bread and vengeance than 
       learning. When the Bastille falls and Louise leads a 
       women's march to Versailles, the monarchy is forced to 
       bend, but not without a fight. The king's pious sister, 
       Princess Elisabeth, takes a stand to defend her brother, 
       spirit her family to safety, and restore the old order, 
       even at the risk of her head. But when fanatics use the 
       newspapers to twist the revolution's ideals into a new 
       tyranny, even the women who toppled the monarchy are 
       threatened by the guillotine. Putting her faith in the pen,
       brilliant political wife Manon Roland tries to write a way
       out of France's blood-soaked Reign of Terror while pike-
       bearing Pauline Leon and steely Charlotte Corday embrace 
       violence as the only way to save the nation. With justice 
       corrupted by revenge, all the women must make impossible 
       choices to survive - unless unlikely heroine and 
       courtesan's daughter Emilie de Sainte-Amaranthe can sway 
       the man who controls France's fate: the fearsome 
       Robespierre."--provided by publisher.
