Sinopsis
In the tumultuous years of the French Revolution, women played a vital and often overlooked role. From the streets of Paris to the battlefields of the Vendée, they were political activists, journalists, soldiers, spies, and writers. They challenged traditional gender roles, fought for their rights, and left an indelible mark on French history. This book tells the stories of these remarkable women, shedding light on their experiences, their struggles, and their triumphs. Through their eyes, we witness the Revolution's unfolding drama, from the storming of the Bastille to the Reign of Terror. We see how women's lives were transformed by the Revolution, and how they, in turn, helped to shape its course. Meet Théroigne de Méricourt, the Fury of Liberty, who fought alongside men on the front lines.
