Description
Dorothea Lieven was born in 1785 and went on to become an influential figure in international diplomacy. Her early years were marked by her mother's careful social training, which prepared her for the life she wished to lead. After her mother's death, Dorothea was adopted by a close friend of the Empress Maria of Russia, further solidifying her connections to the Russian imperial family. She married Count Christopher Lieven at 14 and used her intellect, charisma, and social skills to become a political force in European diplomacy during the first half of the nineteenth century. This biography draws on unpublished correspondence and memoirs to explore Dorothea's life and times, including her role in events that led to the birth of modern Greece.
