Answer:
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.
This ultimately shows that revolutionary government was somewhat responsible towards women and was not passive with respect to women.
