Everything Everywhere Daily - “Let Them Eat Cake”

Marie Antoinette was the last queen of France prior to the French Revolution. She and her husband were executed by guillotine during the Regin of Terror, which soon followed. 

Over the years, she has been vilified as a woman who was out of touch with the common folk and was famously reported to have said that if the French people couldn’t eat bread, then “let them eat cake.”

But was she really that bad, and did she really tell her subjects to eat cake?

Learn more about Marie Antoinette and if, in fact, she recommended cake eating on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Journalist Alan Henry’s new book is an invitation to get Seen, Heard, and Paid

The workplace can be a tricky - even fraught - place to navigate for anyone, but for those who come from marginalized backgrounds, it can be even tougher.
