## Bio

Jeanne Antoinette Poisson was born in 1721, outside the aristocracy that guarded Versailles. She became Louis XV's official chief mistress in 1745, a role she held until 1751, though her influence at court lasted until her death in 1764. She managed the king's schedule, advised on policy, and carefully avoided conflict with Queen Marie Leszczyńska — earning appointment as the queen's thirteenth lady-in-waiting in 1756, the most prestigious position at court. She secured noble titles for her family, built a network of loyal clients, and became a major patron of architecture, porcelain, and the Enlightenment philosophes, including Voltaire. Her enemies painted her as dangerous; historians now see a woman whose power unsettled a rigid hierarchy that had no room for someone born as she was.
