Index Card #12

http://www.slate.com/id/2151858/

Summary: Marie Antoinetter's main job was to produce an heir. She had her first child after 8 and a half years fruitless years. After her fourth child the queen stated to focus more on clothing than gambling and partying late. She didn't invent fashion. She promoted radical new ones through her public persona, in the modern, celebrity-culture way. This is why we like her today instead of despising her as the last century did.
