Answer:

Hey friend!! 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. Section 4 of this chapter will tell

you more about their activities and demands.

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.

Hope this helps.... : )
