At the turn of the 18^th century, when a positive image of a frenchified Russian began to be developed, and when Russian specificity was also emphasized, women began to contribute to the discourse on the Russian nation and its place among other nations. In this chapter, the author studies the contributions of francophone Russian women writers to the discourse, including that of Empress Catherine II, Julie de Krüdener, Princess Ekaterina Dashkova and Princess Zinaida Volkonskaya. Each of these women succeeded in offering a more balanced view of the nation.
