Answer 1

Answer:

From the very beginning, women were active participants in the events which brought about so many changes in the French society. Most women of the third estate had to work for a living. Their wages were lower than those of men. In order to discuss and voice their interests, women started their own political clubs and newspapers. One of their main demands was that women must enjoy the same political rights as

men. Some laws were introduced to improve the position of women. Their struggle still continues in several parts of the world. It was finally in 1946 that women in France won the right to vote.

Women were disappointed that the Constitution of 1791 reduced them to passive citizens. They demanded the right to vote, to be elected to the Assembly and to hold political office.

The revolutionary government did introduce laws that helped improve the lives of women.

By creation of state schools, schooling was made compulsory for all girls.

Their fathers could no longer force them into marriage against their will.

Divorce was made legal, and could be applied for by both women and men.

Women could now train for jobs, could become artists or run small businesses.

It was finally in 1946 that women in France won the right to vote.
