Description | Composed for the female pupils at the boarding school in Saint-Cyr, Madame de Maintenon's dramatic proverbs (1690-1710) crucially reveal the values emphasized in female education at the end of the seventeenth century, a period plagued by economic crisis and growing aristocratic poverty.
