What was the role of women in the French Revolution?

Think of examples before, during, and immediately after the revolutionary events, giving examples for all three Estates, e.g. name and briefly reflect on someone from the ruling aristocratic class, then from working and peasant class, and from the middle class – bourgeois.

Use and cite at least once your e-book, a video documentary (see suggestions below), and an academic source of your choice found at our library or online.

For a video documentary, watch Women and the French Revolution by Tom Richey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QG3Zg12YcUQ It has three parts, and all are about 10-15 minutes long, free on YouTube. Ignore Tom Richey’s (mis)pronunciation of French names and places.

Write a 300-word response. Include at least 4 dates/periods, e.g. the year when X happened, the century when Y ruled, etc. Utilize and provide answers to the general historical questions – Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How as you go.

Do make sure that when you use sources (your e-text, website, video, publication), the acknowledged sources are less than 20% of the total word count of your paper. Cite properly your sources: at the end of quoted or paraphrased line, in brackets state author and page number, or simply name of website/video, and at the end of the paper state the full citation (see examples and instructions in Originality, Citation, and Format link in Canvas).
