Maud Fargeallah, the woman who "made and unmade ministers and presidents in her salon" ironically never held any official political post. However, her influence on the local and regional political scenes was not to be underestimated. Renown for her sharp analytical skills and clairvoyance, Maud was a woman who defied all the norms of her society for the cause she loved best: Lebanon's integrity and sovereignty.
