Description:
Telling the story of three overlooked revolutionary thinkers, Liberty in Their Names explores the lives and works of Olympe de Gouges, Sophie de Grouchy, and Manon Roland. All three were thinking and writing about political philosophy, especially equality and social justice, before the French Revolution. As they became engaged in its efforts, their works were widely distributed. At a time when women could neither vote nor speak at the Assembly, they became vocal, public figures. Yet instead of Gouges, Grouch and Roland, we speak of Voltaire, Rousseau and Diderot.Sandrine Berges examines the lives and writings of these groundbreaking female activists, and their impact on philosophical thought during the French Revolution. Featuring maps, a timeline and complete bibliography of their works, this book is an exciting expansion on revolutionary philosophy.
