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. someone from the ruling aristocratic class, women from working and

peasant class, and someone from 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 video documentary consider watching 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.
For a broader picture on the revolution consider watching the History Channel’s French Revolution:

charge, on YouTube.
Write an 800 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 (e.g. your e-text, website, video, publication), the

acknowledged sources are less than 10% of total words 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. For illustration, see pdf

If more than 10% of paper consists of non-original material, whether quoted or not cited, will

result in grade nil – ‘zero’).
