Work Women did-
1.Women were active participants in the events
which brought about so many important changes in French society.
2.Most women of the third estate had to work for a living. They worked as
seamstresses or laundresses, sold flowers, fruits and vegetables at the
market, or were employed as domestic servants in the houses of
prosperous people.
5.Only daughters of nobles or wealthier members of the
third estate could study at a convent, after which their families
arranged a marriage for them.
6.Working women had also to care for
their families, that is, cook, fetch water, queue up for bread and
look after the children.
7.In order to discuss and voice their interests women started their own
political clubs and newspapers.

Laws were introduced to help the women- 1.Schooling was made compulsory for all girls. 2.Their fathers could no longer force them into marriage against their will.
3.Marriage was made into a contract entered into freely and registered
under civil law.
4.Divorce was made legal, and could be applied for by
both women and men.
5.Women could now train for jobs, could
become artists or run small businesses.
Womenís struggle for equal political rights continued for 200 years.
