Marfa Mouchanow
My Empress is a memoir written by Marfa Mouchanow about her twenty-three years of intimate life with the Empress of All the Russias, from the time of her marriage to the day of her exile in 1918. The book provides a rare glimpse into the personal life of the Empress, Alexandra Feodorovna, and her relationship with her family, friends, and servants. Mouchanow, who served as the Empress’s lady-in-waiting, recounts her experiences with the royal family and their daily routines, as well as the political and social upheavals that marked the period. The book also sheds light on the Empress’s personality, her religious beliefs, and her role in the Russian court. My Empress is a fascinating account of a bygone era and a unique perspective on one of the most controversial and enigmatic figures of Russian history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
