She revolutionized versallies and the rest of french aristicracy she resfused to comform to all the laws of society and also contrary to popular belief had a love for her people wich she exemplified by cuting down her extravaget lifestyle in order to reduce budget. France used her as a scapegoat for all its problems and they where sucessfull

Answer 3

The famous quote, 'Let them eat cake!' is actually wrongly attributed to her. The person who might really have said it was a previous French Queen.

Her biggest accomplishment might just be her sense of style and the trends that she started.

Answer 4

In all actuality, she didn't do that much. She is famous for the quote "Let them eat cake" In reality here's what was happening. The people were starving because the bakers weren't cooking enough cheap bread. She was simply suggesting that they lower the cost of the fancy bread to feed the people. Most of the time there, she felt like an outcast because she didn't speak French, and no one there knew her. Basically, she created a little pretend village to do with as she pleased. Then, after the rebellion, she pretty much died because of who she was married to.

Answer 5

The view on Marie Antoinette's role in French history has varied widely throughout the years. Even during her life, she was both a popular icon of goodness and a symbol of everything wrong with the French monarchy.

The queen began to institute changes in the modes of court, with the approval of the king. Some changes, such as the abolition of segregated dining spaces, had already been instituted for some time and had been met with disapproval from the older generation; more importantly was the abandonment of the wide-hooped panniers and heavy make-up for less make-up and plainer clothing, such as polonaises and, more famously, the muslin dresses which were captured by a 1783 Lebrun portrait of the queen. She also began to participate in amateur theatrics, starting in 1780, in a theatre built for her and other courtiers who wished to indulge in singing and acting.

Marie Antoinette's temperament was more suited to her children, whose education and upbringing she personally saw to. This was against the mode of Versailles, where the queen usually had little say over the "Children of France", as royal children were called, and they were instead handed over to various courtiers who fought over the privilege.
