#53 - Empress of Style: the Life and Legacy of Josephine Bonaparte

Step back in history to look at the life of a women who helped to
shape the history of France.

She is remembered for her personal style and influence. She was
an icon of fashion, a patron of the arts, and the first Empress
of France. She was married to one of the most powerful men in the
world. And from humble beginnings on the island of Martinique to
her days in the opulent halls of French power, her life was one
of resilience – a real rags to riches story.

Legend has it that when she was ten years old, she was told by a
fortune teller that she would be unhappily married, widowed, and
then become Queen of France. “More than a queen,” she was told,
precisely, “but only for a short time.”
