Marie Antionette was Austrian and feminist in a way and Sofia Coppola made a movie about her recently which had rave reviews. |

18 Mar 09 - 05:35 PM (#2592097) Subject: RE: BS: Austrian feminist princess From: Joe Offer Hi, Leeneia - I think Kat's right. You're probably talking about Sissi --- Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary (24 December 1837 – 10 September 1898). Wikipedia says she was Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary, Croatia, and Bohemia as spouse of Emperor Francis Joseph I. From an early age, she was called "Sisi" by family and friends. When I was in Budapest, I got the impression from our tour guide that she lived much of her adult life in Budapest and that she was wildly popular there. Romy Schneider starred in three "Sissi" films directed by Ernst Marischka. -Joe- |

Last weekend I went to visit a man who collects, restores, and sells magnificent clocks called Vienna Regulators. (see snclocks.com) On three of the clocks were faces of a woman wearing a certain kind of bonnet. I thought they might be images of Sissi, but I couldn't remember her name. I'm going to see if there are any paintings of her with a bonnet like that. |
