Question

how do you understand women's role in French Revolution clearly ​

Answer 1

Answer:

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 man to determine what was best for them. That changed draft in theory as there seemingly were great advances in feminism. Feminism emerged in Paris as a broad demand for social and political reform. The women demanded equality to men and then moved onto the demand for the end of male domination. Their chief vehicles for agitation were pamphlets and women club's,especially the society of Revolutionary Republican Women. However the jacobin element in power abolished all the women's clubs in October 1793 and arrested their leaders. Their movement was crushed. Devance explains the decision in terms of the emphasis on masculinity in wartime, Marie's Antoinette's bad reputation for feminine interference in state affairs and tradition male supremacy. A decade later the Napoleonic Code confirmed and perpetuated women's second class status.
