In the late nineteenth century, the controversy over the social ramifications of the emerging consumer marketplace beset the industrialized nations of the West. In France, various commentators expressed concern that rampant commercialization threatened the republican ideal of civic-mindedness as well as the French reputation for good taste. The female bourgeois consumer was a particularly charged figure because she represented consumption run amok. Critics feared that the marketplace compromised her morality and aesthetic discernment, with dire repercussions for domestic life and public order. Marianne in the Market traces debates about the woman consumer to examine the complex encounter between the market and the republic in nineteenth-century France.

Lisa S. Tiersten was born on December 5, 1959, in New York City, New York, United States. She is the daughter of Martin and Judith (Saed) Tiersten.
Lisa Tiersten began her studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1979. Then she studied at Yale University, where she obtained a Master of Arts degree in 1995, a Master of Philosophy degree in 1996, and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1991.
Lisa Tiersten is a professor of history and chair in the history department at Barnard College. She joined Barnard as an assistant professor of history in 1993 later becoming a professor. In addition to her teaching duties for the history department, she is affiliated with Barnard's women's studies program. Her research and teaching interests include modern European cultural history, the cultural history of capitalism, modern France, feminist theory, gender history, and comparative colonialisms.
Tiersten's interest in France led her to write the book, Marianne in the Market: Envisioning Consumer Society in Fin-de-Siècle France, which was published in 2001. A fascinating case study, Marianne in the Market builds on a wide range of sources such as the feminine press, decorating handbooks, exposition reports, advertising materials, novels, and etiquette books. Lisa Tiersten draws on these materials to make the compelling argument that market professionals used the allure of aesthetically informed consumerism to promote new models of the female consumer and the market in keeping with Republican ideals.
With Mortimer Chambers, Barbara Hanawalt, Theodore Rabb, and Isser Woloch, Lisa also co-authored the book The Western Experience, published in 2006. Currently, Tiersten is working on two books, Sentimental Modernity: Business Culture in Third Republic France and The Child and the Nation-State: The US, France, and Sweden, 1900-2000.
