Marie Antoinette was actually quite generous.
1. She donated a lot to charity. There's a letter she sent to her family in Austria that she cared and was concerned about the poor people in France
2. For "Let them eat cake", it's actually Rosseau who spread that propaganda. He probably referred to Queen Maria-ThÊrèse, the wife of Louis XIV who lived a century prior.
3. She actually popularized the simple white dress to women in France.
"I was a queen, and you dethroned me. I was a wife, and you killed my husband. I was a mother, and you tore me from my children. Only my blood remains: you are thirsty. Drink it. Hasten to meet it that you may drink it."
-Marie Antoinette, 1793

For anyone interested in a little background: Louis XIV introduced a really elaborate form of court etiquette as a way to keep control of his nobles. If they were fighting over who got to hand the King his gloves and who got to help the Queen put on her rouge then they wouldnât have time to fight with him over important stuff. It sort of worked, and he actually had the longest reign of any monarch (that can be verified), 72 years. His grandson, Louis XV kept the system going, but he was a dilettante who spent his time chasing skirts and moping about his lot in life so the state began to stagnate. He reigned for a long time, almost 59 years. Louis XVI was his grandson and by the time he came to the throne things were in a bad way. France was getting kicked by Britain on the one side and Prussia on the other. It would have taken an extraordinarily strong ruler to turn things around and sadly Louis didnât qualify.
