European History Research paper topic: As the Salon culture became popular in France in the 18th century, it was one of the most important place for academic discussions in the French Enlightenment period. For my paper, I would like to research on how does the rise of the salons shows the women’s social identity and social status changes in the 18th century? Instruction: Use the book” Janet Aldis Madame Geoffrin: Her Salon and Her Times (1750 — 1777) ” as a primary source as the focus of your analysis, with supporting evidence. Then use two secondary sources from ” Dena Goodman The republic of letters” and “Kale, Steven, French Salons: High Society and Political Sociability from the Old Regime to the Revolution of 1848” as supporting evidence to help with your analysis.
