Her first novel “The Sister Queens,” debuting in 2012 and published by New American Library, explores the bond between sisters Marguerite and Eleanor of Provence, 13th century queens of France and England. After graduating from Wooster, she earned a law degree at Northwestern University but left the practice of law to pursue artistic interests, including writing. She recalls in the bio on her website that she declared her major before anyone else in her class during the first quarter of her freshman year. Perinot, a history major at Wooster, has always had a passion for the subject.
Perinot and her fellow authors suggest these women are part of a pattern of forgotten females in history. Set in late eighteenth-century France, women from gilded salons to the streets of Paris challenge the idea that women do not have a place in politics and decide otherwise in a historical story with ideas that resonate with a modern audience. 1 and written by six bestselling and award-winning authors, “Ribbons of Scarlet” tells the story of the power of women during the French Revolution. Register online at /engage/upcoming-events or email Oct. 2, at 1:45 p.m., in the Alley of Lowry Center (1189 Beall Ave.), for a conversation about the launch of her novel, “Ribbons of Scarlet: A Novel of the French Revolution.” The event is free and open to the public. The College of Wooster will host alumna Sophie Perinot ’86 on Oct.
