Olympe de Gouges and the Rights of Woman (Women and the French Revolution: Part 3)

In the third installment of my lecture series on Women and the French Revolution, I analyze Olympe de Gouge's Declaration of the Rights of Woman and the Female Citizen, reading from the primary source document and providing historical context for interested students. The French Revolution was a turning point in the history of feminism because it was the first time that women in Europe publicly advocated for equal rights and Olympe de Gouge was among the first to do so.

This is part of my Women and the French Revolution series:
