When a man breaks your heart, but then you remember who you are. 💔 👑 Swipe to see the glow up. These illuminations are part of a 15th-century manuscript that tells scandalous tales of men and the broken lives of women they left behind. It was gifted to teenage Anne of Brittany, Queen of France, after her marriage to King Charles VIII in 1491. Despite its tragic themes, the manuscript gave agency to the women described by letting them take control of the narrative and tell their side of the story. This book may have helped young Anne of Brittany think about the nature of female power as she became Queen of France.
