	Essays by Alice Meynell - Madame Roland (by Alice Meynell)
		Twice only in the life of Madame Roland is there a lapse into silence, and for the record of these two poor failures of that long, indomitable, reasonable, temperate, explicit utterance which expressed her life and mind we are debtors to her friends.
		Madame Roland may seem the more heroic to those whose suffrages she seeks in all times and nations because of the fact that she manifestly suppresses in her self-descriptions any signs of a natural gaiety.
		Madame Roland, I have said, was twice inarticulate; she had two spaces of silence, one when she, pure and selfless patriot, had heard her condemnation to death.

	Heroines - Madame Roland
		Madame Roland, whose all-absorbing passion it now was to elevate her husband to the highest summits of greatness, was gratified in view of the honour and agitated in view of the peril; but, to her exalted spirit, the greater the danger, the more heroic the act.
		Madame Roland might have fled from these perils, and have retired with her husband to tranquillity and safety, but she urged M. Roland to remain at his post and resolved to remain herself and meet her destiny, whatever it might be.
		Madame Roland, without the slightest change of colour, or the apparent tremor of a nerve, saw the ponderous instrument, with its glittering edge, glide upon its deadly mission, and the decapitated trunk of her friend was thrown aside to give place for her.

		MADAM SATAN (1930, MGM) Directed by Cecil B. De Mille, Screenplay by Jeanie MacPherson, Gladys Unger, and Elsie Janis.
		Madam Satan is the immediate hit of the party, much to the dismay of Trixie (dressed as "Miss Golden Pheasant"), and her double, triple, and quadruple entendres have every man aboard the craft lusting for her.
		The real star of the happy mess is the casual, quipping Roland Young, acting the part of the wealthy, wry, self-involved, yet still very proper gentleman playboy that he was born to perform.

		Mary Cisar's "Madame Roland and the Grammar of Female Sainthood" erases what Marie-Jeanne (Manon) Phlippon (born 1754, guillotined 1793) turned to in order to lead a life at odds with her era's mores and customs: the power of an intensely rebellious and non-religious private spiritual life.

	L'Étrange Madame X / L'Etrange Madame X
		L’Étrange Madame X is a simple story about love, deception and infidelity, but Grémillon’s masterly direction and the calibre of the acting performances elevate the film to the status of a masterpiece.
		Few French films of the period in which this film was made genuinely have the power to captivate and move the audience in the way that this film does.
		L’Étrange Madame X is also an interesting film because although it is solidly anchored in the dreary class-ridden years after the Second World War, it has a strange modernity and accesibility.

		Ultimately, the original or the original intent of Madame Roland’s pattern and Nationalism become irrelevant, for it is the translation's impact on the cultural scene, the effect of the differences that engender the new Chinese woman, that is of importance.
		Thus, by utilizing themes of translation as invention, by unearthing the historical context of Madame Roland’s political struggles, and by illustrating the similar gender constraints placed upon Western and Chinese women, Hu Ying decenters the image of the West as central and omniscient benevolent educator.
		Similarly, Madame Roland’s racialized gift of female equality, which ends up embodying the threat of the “West” to universalize itself, is also a spark that engenders the indigenous feminist.
