Is there a biography of her? Would love to read it ( in English, though).

She wrote her own memoirs, they’re freely availabke on Gutenberg and google books. Very entertaining 200~ pages.

If you’re still interested in the era afterwards, it’s time to read saint simon, the “king” of memoirs and the primary source for the late sun king rule and the regency.
