cyrilcyrielle:“A woman has the right to stand at the Guillotine, so she must have the right to stand on the tribune”Olympe de Gouges wrote a Declaration of Women and Girls Rights (which was obviously NOT accepted) during the French Revolution. She was sentenced to death by Guillotine.Her figure, one of the first feminist politician of French History is beggining to make her way in historical books. But not in schools. not yet.After 200 years you thought we could learn her works along Desmoulins, Robespierre and Danton, but no, she’s a woman.What I’m very proud of, it’s that my city took her name for one of our public library, the one who has a section dedicated to Women and LGBT’s rights :) -- source link
