OLYMPE DE GOUGES :
Olympe de Gouges was the daughter of a butcher . She was one of the most important of the politically active women in revolutionary France. She was a playwright and a bold individualistic woman.
She strongly protested against the constitution and the Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizens because they had not provided women even their basic rights. She in 1791, wrote a ' Declaration of the rights of women and citizen ' .The Declaration included 17 Articles . It held , " Woman is born free and lives equal to Man in her rights... The law must be the expression of the general will.
All Female and Male Citizens must contribute either personally or through their representatives to its formation.... male and female Citizens, being equal in the eyes of the law, must be equally admitted to all honours, positions and public employment according to their capacity and without other distinctions besides those of their virtues and talents" .
She addressed this Declaration to the queen and to the members of the national assembly demanding that they act upon it. Olympe de Gouges bitterely criticised the Jacobin government as it had closed down women's club forcibily . Consequently, she was tried by the National Convention with charge of treasure and was put to guillotine in 1793.
