"Male and female citizens, being equal in the eyes of the law, must be equally admitted to all honors, positions, and public employment according to their capacity and without other distinctions besides those of their virtues and talents."

Although she was english, a stunning example of a strong woman who lead just as good as any man.

Seriously though i mean Marie was no ones favorite but she wasnt equal politically with him (though women should be) so why give her equal punishment?  They could've just locked her up for her life instead.

Time for me to return to my calling.  I set the tools in place for equality and i must pass it on to someone else.  The stage is my true home.

S/O to my "best friend" Pauline and Theophile.  You're both going to hell.  I hope you're happy together.  Men are all the same.

We are currently shut down due to our need to "return to the domestic sphere," but we will remain vigilant even though we had a victory with the rights to divorce and property, we thirst for more equality and will continue to fight our battle.  Our meetings are currently stopped until we are no longer in the spotlight, and in the mean time, stay strong!

new poster?  i think it illustrates our meetings fairly well and we could use some more advertisement right now

[frenchrev1-redrosa]

So lucky to have found my true other half, and we have now moved in together!Theophile, never have i met a man so supportive and kind.  A symbol that there is hope for MANkind.

He may suppress our rights now but in the long run we will see victory

This is Declaration of the Rights of Woman and the Female Citizen that Olympe de Gouges wrote in 1791. It challeneges the theory of inequality between males and females.

Successes of Women during the French Revolution

"what could not be taken from women was their memory of victories during the French Revolution: their march to Versailles in the October Days, their petitions to the legislature, their club meetings, their processions, their institutions." ~ Ruth Graham

Got my invitation in the mail this morning..  Tgod thought i wasnt going to be invited! The first anniversary celebration of the storming of the Bastille should be quite an event. Lets hope the food is good and the drink is plenty.  Hope to see everyone there!

« Une femme a le droit de monter sur l’échafaud, elle doit avoir également celui de monter à la tribune ».

Olympe de Gouges (via wisecoquette) "" A woman has the right to mount the scaffold, it should also have the right to mount the rostrum. "
