Description
About Marianne: A woman ahead of her time The character of Marianne was inspired by the writings of Mary Wollstonecraft and Marie Olympe de Gouges whose visions resonate with the aspirations of women today. Marianne was born in 1794 to an unmarried woman. Her mother was the chef in the house of one of the great banking families of France. Marianne had the good fortune to be invited to share lessons with Jean, the scion of the banking family who was an only child. She proved to be an apt pupil who developed considerable skill in English. This opened doors for her when Jean joined the family business and needed her talents to deal with English bankers. Her entry into the male dominated world of banking was not welcomed but in time, she proved her worth and she developed valuable skills in finance. Marianne branched out and became a successful business woman which brought challenges in her personal life. She was truly a woman ahead of her time and her story mirrors challenges faced by women today.
