Let's talk about Marie Antoinette, the Queen of France who was guillotined by the Revolution. If you know one thing about Marie Antoinette, it's probably that when she heard about a famine where the people had no bread, she infamously responded "Let them eat cake." What an evil bitch. How could she say that? Well, she didn't. She never said it. It's a lie. The phrase "let them eat cake", originally "let them eat brioches" first appeared in Rousseau's Confessions, written in 1765 when Marie Antoinette was nine years old. Rousseau attributed the line to "a great princess." Probably, no one ever said this.View source
