Summary "The War of Women, Volume 2" by Alexandre Dumas is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. This volume continues the stirring tale of political intrigue and civil conflict in 17th century France, with a particular focus on the powerful roles women play in these turbulent times. The narrative centers around Madame la Princesse, her council, and the cunning strategies they employ as they attempt to take control of Bordeaux amid the ongoing war against Cardinal Mazarin. At the start of the book, the stage is set for a decisive entry into Bordeaux as Madame la Princesse and her council of women strategize how to confront the impending threat of an army led by certain dukes. The characters engage in spirited debate about whether to take the city by force or through political maneuvering, reflecting their motivations and the volatile atmosphere of the time. Madame de Tourville proposes an audacious plan involving a show of strength, but Lenet, a more cautious figure, advocates for a less confrontational approach. The dialogue reveals the complexities of their relationships and their ongoing struggle for power, positioning the reader to anticipate both the political challenges ahead and the personal conflicts that may arise among these dynamic characters.
