This dissertation is a case study that examines the life of one woman, Madame Sophie Swetchine, to explore the ways nineteenth century women constructed and exercised authority. Sophie Swetchine, born in Russia in 1782, converted to Catholicism in 1815 and relocated to Paris in 1816 where, in 1826, she opened a salon which became a gathering place for the French intellectual Catholic elite. As a salonniere, Madame Swetchine exercised significant personal influence on the leaders of the French Liberal Catholic movement, serving as their patron, mentor and spiritual counselor.

520 $a This dissertation is a case study that examines the life of one woman, Madame Sophie Swetchine, to explore the ways nineteenth century women constructed and exercised authority. Sophie Swetchine, born in Russia in 1782, converted to Catholicism in 1815 and relocated to Paris in 1816 where, in 1826, she opened a salon which became a gathering place for the French intellectual Catholic elite. As a salonniere, Madame Swetchine exercised significant personal influence on the leaders of the French Liberal Catholic movement, serving as their patron, mentor and spiritual counselor.
520 $a The study approaches Swetchine's life as a series of questions. These include why Swetchine converted to Catholicism at a time when an increase in anti-French sentiments made such conversions treacherous; how Swetchine constructed her position as a salonniere in the competitive environment of Parisian salons, and why the Catholic intellectual elite conceded to her a significant degree of personal authority overlooking the fact that she was both a woman and an emigree. These questions of Swetchine's life become the starting points for wider discussions about the societies in which she lived, both Russian and French.
520 $a Thus, examination of Swetchine's conversion suggests that interest in Catholicism was an attempt by the Russian nobles to fill the vacuum left by the collapse of the ideas of the Enlightenment and to find a way to offer a notion of national identity based not on opposition to Catholic Europe but on unity with it.
520 $a In addition, the examination of Swetchine's efforts to build her career as a salonniere reveals that the personal character of power in nineteenth-century France made it easier for women of the elite to influence the world of established politics through the channels of micro-politics, that is, through personal relationships. Swetchine's example also demonstrates that some models of female authority were based not on breaking away from existing structures and identities but on negotiating a place between them. It was this ability of Swetchine to live at the intersections, to reconcile many conflicting notions that exhibited a particular appeal to Liberal Catholics who struggled to reconcile modernity and tradition.
