Editor's Take:
Joséphine survived revolution and prison to become Empress of the French. Her first husband was guillotined during the Terror. Her charm and social skill helped Napoleon win over Parisian society. Their marriage was passionate but troubled. When she gave him no son, he ended it for reasons of state. She retired to Malmaison, where her gardens became famous. Her grandchildren married into several royal families of Europe.
