...biblical Deborah, who led the Israelites to victory against the Canaanites. The Byzantine Empress Theodora, who inspired most of the important legislation of Justinian's reign. Catherine the Great of Russia, who had skills-and drives-as prodigious as her legendary predecessor Peter. From Nefertiti, the Maid of Orleans and Elizabeth I down to modern times, women leaders have left their mark. The 1970s alone have seen no fewer than four female heads of state: Israel's Golda Meir, India's Indira Gandhi, Sri Lanka's Sirimavo Bandaranaike and Argentina's Isabelita...

It is a world where the worst that can happen is to lose your Irish maid or private view of the Hudson. Plots turn on such matters as who will get nightly custody of an antique stone hot-water bottle. Though she deals ironically with such elegantly dated doings, Brennan never substitutes malice for wit-not even when skewering a truly obnoxious theater critic...
True Parisians, the Raguins love the city and go out constantly, to the theater, movies, cabarets and restaurants. "Paris is a wonderful place to live," says France. Though she works, France arranges her time so that she, and not the maid, takes care of the girls, Séverine and Marielle. As a working mother, she receives $22 a month from the state...
