"Dashkova's memoirs provide valuable insights into politics and court/aristocratic life that are not to be found elsewhere. Her fascinating account of life in (and after) the court of Catherine II is a unique and extremely important source for the study of 18th century Russia, all the more so today in light of feminist scholarship's foregrounding of writings by and about women."--Barbara T. Norton, Widener University
