Lucy Aikin

English writer; her most important works are her memoirs of the courts of Elizabeth (1818) James I (1822), and Charles I (1833), and her Memoirs of Addison (1843).

A noted beauty of the court of Napoleon I, and an intimate friend of Josephine, she wrote an essay on the Education of Women, which was honored by the Academy, but her important work was her Mémoirs, published in 1879, and particularly valuable for the light they throw on the court of the First Empire.
