Olympe de Gouges: The Woman Who Demanded Rights in Revolutionary France

In 1791, as the French Revolution proclaimed the Rights of Man, playwright and activist Olympe de Gouges published the Declaration of the Rights of Woman and the Female Citizen. This episode explores her radical vision for gender equality, her confrontations with Robespierre and Marat, and her ultimate execution under the Terror. We also discuss her lesser-known works, her stance against slavery, and how her legacy was resurrected centuries later. A story of courage, ideals, and the limits of revolutionary fraternity. #OlympeDeGouges #FrenchRevolution #WomensRights #DeclarationOfTheRightsOfWoman #MarieAntoinette #ReignOfTerror #Robespierre #Marat #Jacobin #Girondins #Guillotine #Citoyenne #HistoryOfFeminism #1791 #NationalAssembly #SlaveryAbolition #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
