"Madame Roland: A Biographical Study" by Ida M. Tarbell is a deep exploration into the life of Madame Roland, a key woman during the French Revolution, and examines her impact on the politics of the era. Tarbell constructs a detailed story about Roland's life, using many sources like old letters to show Roland's complex personality and relationships. The beginning of the book looks at Roland’s childhood as Manon Phlipon, describing her life with her middle-class family in Paris, her intelligence, and how much she loved to read. It outlines her time in school, her relationships with her parents, and how her views changed as she noticed social rules and political events, preparing her for her later political work and beliefs and shows how these early experiences turned Madame Roland into an important person in the French Revolution.
