Answer:
Hey there!! here is the answer...
Explanation:
The most successful of these clubs was that of
the Jacobins, which got its name from the former convent of St
Jacob in Paris. Women too, who had been active throughout this
period, formed their own clubs.
The members of the Jacobin club belonged mainly to the less
prosperous sections of society. They included small shopkeepers,
artisans such as shoemakers, pastry cooks, watch-makers, printers,
as well as servants and daily-wage workers. Their leader was
Maximilian Robespierre. A large group among the Jacobins decided
to start wearing long striped trousers similar to those worn by
dock workers. This was to set themselves apart from the fashionable
sections of society, especially nobles, who wore knee breeches. It was a way of proclaiming the end of the power wielded by the
wearers of knee breeches. These Jacobins came to be known as the
sans-culottes, literally meaning ëthose without knee breechesí. Sansculottes men wore in addition the red cap that symbolised liberty.
Women however were not allowed to do so.
