| 一般注記 | Includes bibliographical references (p. [195]-254) and index Summary: Veuve Clicquot champagne epitomizes glamour, style, and luxury. But who was this young widow--the Veuve Clicquot--whose champagne sparkled at the courts of France, Britain, and Russia, and how did she rise to celebrity and fortune? Cultural historian Mazzeo brings to life the woman behind the iconic yellow label: Barbe-Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin. A young witness to the French Revolution and a new widow during the chaotic years of the Napoleonic Wars, Barbe-Nicole defied convention by assuming--after her husband's death--the reins of the fledgling wine business they had nurtured, and became one of the world's first great businesswomen and one of the richest women of her time. This book provides a glimpse into the life of a daring and determined entrepreneur, a bold risk taker, and an audacious and intelligent woman who took control of her own destiny when fate left her on the brink of financial ruin.--From publisher description HTTP:URL=http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0810/2008005086.html Information=Table of contents only HTTP:URL=http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0914/2008005086-b.html Information=Contributor biographical information HTTP:URL=http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0914/2008005086-d.html Information=Publisher description |
