1698 1ed Jeanne de Schomberg Housekeeping Motherhood Parenting French Liancourt

'Reglement Donne par une Dame de Haute' was a late 17th-century letter written by Duchesse de Liancourt, Jeanne de Schomberg, which instructs her granddaughter on the duties she should expect as a wife and mother, how to execute them, and how to avoid common pitfalls. (Seifert). It discusses the importance of shunning card games, going to operas and plays, and reading novels – all of which would undoubtedly lead to the neglect of wifely duties.
