Daughters of the King with Kerry Chaput
On this episode we speak to Kerry Chaput, the author of the historical fiction novel Daughter of the King. Kerry has done tons of research about the late 17th-century practice of young French girls moving to French Canada as “daughters of the king” (filles du roi) to marry settlers. Over 800 girls and women moved to the French colony between 1663-1673, with King Louis XIV as their official sponsor. These girls came from all walks of life and faced both unique privileges and challenges by enlisting as daughters of the king. Kerry talks about their lives as well as the lives of t...

On the eve of the French Revolution, two women gained access to France's most elite and exclusive community of artists: The Royal Academy. Elisabeth and Adelaide were admitted to the Academy on the same day, during a period when the Academy allowed a maximum of four female members at any given time, and when the minister of fine arts was a raging misogynist.

With the advent of the “New Woman” in the late 19th century, England and America saw a resurgence of empowered women. They smoked, rode bikes, went to college, and said no to marriage proposals.

Bachelor girls were eligible, career-focused women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s who chose not to marry, and refused to be called spinsters or old maids. They might change their minds if the right man came around, but they would rather focus on their careers and their friendships with one another than wait around for their prin...
