Excerpt from The Sisters of Napoleon, Elisa, Pauline, and Caroline Bonaparte: After the Testimony of Their Contemporaries HE sisters of Napoleon had a much greater in¿uence than is generally believed on the march of events during the reign of their brother - a sinister, degenerating in¿uence which did the Emperor immense harm among the serious and respectable who are shocked by things at which society only smiles - and which, more than his interminable wars, commenced to alienate the masses whom his wise government had at first rallied to him. Women, said Michelet, in the end ruin every party. The Imperial regime owes its fall partly to the sisters of Napoleon.
