from The Rest of History · host Podcaster
Marie-Jeanne Leprince sold bread in Paris and had no interest in politics. But when she shortchanged the wrong customer on a foggy October morning in 1788, she unknowingly set in motion the chain of events that would transform a routine grain protest into the march that dragged the royal family back to Paris—and sealed the fate of the French monarchy.
