Empress Elizabeth Petrovna:
We must make you very beautiful, Catherine, very, very beautiful so that my nephew will fall in love with you. I expect you two to behave like lovebirds so that Russia will have an heir to the throne. And remember, Catherine, I want a boy, not a girl. Nothing less than a boy will do. We don't want any more women on the throne. Princess Johanna Elizabeth:
But, Your Imperial Majesty, what would we have done if you had been born a boy? Empress Elizabeth Petrovna:
I would have had much less trouble in Russia if I'd been born a man instead of a woman. We women are too much creatures of the heart. Aren't we, Catherine? Princess Sophia Frederica:
Yes, Your Majesty
