A Parisian Adventure

Since her days as a university students, Nathalie Freidel has been fascinated by Madame de Sévigné, a 17th-century French writer known for her three-volume anthology of letters. Through Freidel's research - including two books and a digital database of women's letters - she has sought to redifine the perception of Sévigné from a mother figure to "a woman who built a literary career when it was not a given."

Now Freidel, a professor of Languages and Literatures at Wilfrid Laurier University, is bringing Sévigné's work off the page and into a museum for a special exhibit at the Musée Carnavelt in Paris.
