Question

Explain the rolled played by women in France during the revolutionary years

Answer 1

Historians since the late 20th century have
debated how women shared in the French
Revolution and what long-term impact it had
on French women . Women had no political
rights in pre-Revolutionary France; they were
considered "passive" citizens; forced to rely
on men to determine what was best for them.
That changed dramatically in theory as there
seemingly were great advances in feminism.
Feminism emerged in Paris as part of a broad
demand for social and political reform. The
women demanded equality to men and then
moved on to a demand for the end of male
domination. Their chief vehicle for agitation
were pamphlets and women's clubs,
especially the Society of Revolutionary
Republican Women .
