[Opinions] Awesome history!

Thanks - I've read a lot on Madame Pompadour but I never came across the fact that she was called Reinette. It's still nms but I can see it's potential.

And by a lot
I mean small biographies about her in various books.
Btw you might get a kick out of this book: Ladies First. It's an excellent book on remarkable women and it's unique in the fact that it doesn't sugar-coat anything. The book shows that women have used their power for both good & evil, that they've done amazing things and that they're human. No pedestals in the book at all - I'm gifting my copy to my niece.
