Brissot, Girondins and Women

For my research, I am looking into the Girondins (men) and how they viewed women. Does anyone know any (primary) sources? In particular, what Brissot wrote about women. (already wrote about Condorcet)

In search of primary sources

Dear citoyens,

Currently, I am in the starting phase of my master's thesis, and I would like to research women who supported the Jacobin (Montagnards) during the years 1791-1794. I would like to know if they are interesting women who I can research, I am especially looking for primary sources. If anyone knows interesting sources, please let me know!

Help asked

Dear citizens,

For my master's thesis, I want to look at gender and the French Revolution. Do you have any recommendations on books, or articles to look for inspiration?

Merci beaucoup!

!! Urgent !! Looking for sources

Dear all, for my paper of 6,500 words I am looking for sources. I am mainly interested in looking at emotional language during the Terror-period. I already started to look for threatening letters towards Robespierre, I only got three so far!

Because the availability of these are scarce, I maybe look into 'fan-mail' or supporting letters to Robespierre as a contrast. Does anyone know interesting sources?

Sources

For a paper, I am looking for threat letters (or other sources) to politicians. These can be anonymous.

I am researching emotions during the Terror, especially the emotion of anger.

Citoyens,

My French isn't great, but if I understand correctly... Is this law about (among other things) removing secular (aka non-religious) schools?

Joseph Fouché

Does anyone know where I can find the decree of Fouché that banned public worship of Christianity (?) outside Churches? It was around October 1793

Quote from Hébert

I found this quote from Hébert. According to François-Alphonse Aulard this is quoted from Père Duchesne N347. However, I cannot find that quote in that specific number. So, does anyone know in which Père Duchesne I can find this?(see Aulard, Le Culte de la Raison et le culte de l’Être suprême 1892, 83-84). 

S’il existe un Dieu, ce qui n’est pas trop clair… Voilà toute l’audace philosophique d’Hébert, cette audace qu’on a tant blâmée et tant louée. Il suffira qu’aux Jacobins, Robespierre dise un mot contre l’athéisme, pour qu’aussitôt Hébert (n° 347) place le culte de la Raison sous l’égide du dieu de Jean-Jacques :

« Si l’être qui nous a créés, dit le père Duchesne, exige de nous un culte, celui de la Raison doit seul lui être agréable. Il a mis dans nos coeurs l’amour de la justice et la haine des méchants. Sa volonté est donc, f……, que nous soyons humains, bienfaisants et probes, n’importe comment. Puisque la Raison seule peut nous apprendre nos devoirs et nos droits, n’écoutons qu’elle seule. Tout le reste n’est que mensonge et imposture. Ainsi donc, f……, vive la raison, vivent la vérité et l’humanité ! Au f…… ; les prêtres, qui ne savent que mentir, tromper et égorger, f……! »

I am *desperately* in search for primary sources about the Cult/Festival of Reason. This could be pamphlets, prints, speeches… etc.

Thank you!

Œuvres Robespierre Tome XI

Is there a digital version of the eleventh tome of  Œuvres complètes de Maximilien Robespierre ???

[citoyen-robespierre]

Looking for a source

Does anyone has a link to this source? 

Oeuvres complètes de Maximilien Robespierre, vol. 1 of  Revue historique de la Révolution française (Paris, 1910), edited by Victor Barbier and Charles Vellay. 

(I am looking for his mémoire around 1789, Dupond case?)

I find this on twitter, but they did not name their source… So… Does anyone know which book this passage come from? (Tweet was about Robespierre being horrible towards women in his private life… Is Villiers even reliable here???)

[citoyen-robespierre]

I found it! It is in Ruth Scurr, Fatal Purity. Robespierre and the French Revolution (2006). Interesting though, in my version of the book “a dubious and evocative source” is not there.

Looking for sources

Hello. For my thesis, I am researching Robespierre’s religious views. If you have any (primary) sources, that would be helpful!
