Masters Mashups: From Marie Antoinette to Madonna

by Melissa G. Wilson

What do Marie Antoinette, former Queen of France, and Madonna, the Queen of Pop have in common? These two women are no strangers to the lives of opulence, royalties, and public scrutiny, but how do their lives truly compare to one another? Both governed by head-strong mothers and deep religious upbringings, this mashup will examine the turning points in their lives, the people that influenced them, and the major events that occurred later in their biographies to paint the fullest picture of who these Queens actually were.

Dive into this mashup and learn more and have more fun learning at the same time. The mashup has existed for ages, though the term only became fashionable in the past decade. Its recent, renewed popularity in the entertainment and technology industries proves blending the tried-and-true with innovation is a successful means to communicate with the masses. Literature is no exception.

Author Melissa G. Wilson explores how each woman was inspired and molded by the cultural and artistic norms of their times and how each struggled to break the barriers imposed on them by the men in their lives.

I had no idea what to expect when I first opened this book. Obviously I could see a bit of the reason behind why Marie and Madonna were in the same book together, but I do think the book is so much more than "just another history book" or "just a comparison." The book is interesting, informative, and thoughtful. Most of all, it was very well put together. I learned a lot about both figures (though I will say that I was particularly interested in the history of Marie Antoinette... a bit of a history fanatic!), and it drew connections between the two people that, without the book, I would have never thought of before. Even though this would technically be classified as a history book, it is painless to read and quite engaging. I definitely suggest this to anyone interested in learning a bit more about these two figures!

From Marie Antoinette to Madonna is one of the rare books that actually had me really entertained from beginning to end. I was so surprised at all of the facts that I found in this book and what really did it for me was the amount of detail that went into this book. It is very well written and put together in a way that made it really informative yet interesting at the same time. The book has a lot of information but is put together in a way that made it really easy to go through yet fun at the same time. Glad I decided to pick this up.
