Marie Antoinette is famous for primarily 2 things: saying "Let them eat cake!" and losing her head to the guillotine. But there is a whole person behind those stories and there are many mistruths, myths, and downright lies told about Marie Antoinette.
I summarized it in this blog entry: https://kellymcclain.blogspot.com/2024/08/the-marie-antoinette-you-dont-know.html
My hope is that you come away from this episode recognizing Marie Antoinette for more than those 2 famously sad things.
