Germaine de Staël (1766-1817) used her prominent position in the salons to question authority and create her own theatre. Her political and feminist writings caused her to be exiled for many years, and she soon became a forerunner of the emerging Romantic movement.[1] While in exile she surrounded herself with the intellectuals of Europe and created her own amateur theatre in Coppet, Switzerland, where some of her own plays where performed, often with de Staël herself on stage.[2]
