[Answer] The phrase "Let them eat cake" is commonly attributed to whom?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "The phrase "Let them eat cake" is commonly attributed to whom?"



...“Let them eat cake” is the most famous quote attributed to Marie-Antoinette, the queen of France during the French Revolution. As the story goes, it was the queen’s response upon being told that her starving peasant subjects had no bread. Because cake is more expensive than bread, the anecdote has been cited as an example of Marie-Antoinette’s obliviousness to the conditions and daily lives of ordinary people. This anecdote acquired great symbolic importance in subsequent histories, when pro-revolutionary historians sought to demonstrate the selfishness of the French upper classes at that time.
