Question

What is the role of women in french revolution

Answer 1

Traditional roles. Women had no political rights in pre-Revolutionary France; they could not vote or hold any political office. ... The subservient role of women prior to the revolution was perhaps best exemplified by the Frederician Code, published in 1750 and attacked by Enlightenment philosophers and publications.


The roles of women in the Revolutionary War were diverse and essential to the war effort. The Daughters of Liberty supported the patriotic cause from home by organizing boycotts of British goods. Camp followers were cooks, cleaners, and nurses at American and British army camps.
