Question

Olympe De Gouges was one of the most important of the politically active women in

Revolutionary France. She protested against the Constitution and Declaration of Rights

of Man and Citizen as they excluded women from basic rights that each human being

was entitled to. So, in 1791, she wrote a Declaration of the Rights of Women and

Citizen, which she addressed to the Queen and to the members of the National

Assembly, demanding that they act upon it.

Research on her and her work. Imagine you are Olympe De Gouges. Write a diary entry

in 150-200 words in the first person, describing your thoughts as a representative of the

women of France and what you will set out to achieve. Make sure the facts are accurate.​
