- Buck, Guide to women's literature, 1992: "Having survived the Revolution she founded a national institution for the education of young women before being made director of Napoléons Maison d'Education de la Légion d'Honnuer in Ecouen. With the fall of the empire she was accused of having collaborated with Napoleon and having betrayed the queen. Her Mémoires may in part have been written to counter such allegations".
