Women of the French Revolution explores the political and social roles played by women during the upheaval that began in 1789. It examines marchers, writers, salon figures, activists and royal women, including the ways they influenced debate, mobilised crowds and became targets of revolutionary suspicion. The book follows changing opportunities and restrictions through the monarchy’s collapse, the Republic and the Terror, showing how questions of citizenship and gender became part of the revolutionary struggle.
