9 women immortalized in the English language
Meet nine women whose names and creations live on in our words.
Jeanne Antoinette Poisson, aka the Marquise de Pompadour
Before there was “Becky with the good hair,” there was Jeanne Antoinette Poisson, a French noblewoman better known as the Marquise de Pompadour—and mistress of French King Louis XV. She’s credited with originating the pompadour hairstyle all the way back in the 1700s! In those days before Bumpits, a pad (sometimes, horrifyingly, called a “rat”) was commonly used to create a pompadour with greater height. Pompadour wasn’t only a style icon—she also wielded significant influence over Louis XV.
