About The Book
Sophie Mousset brings to life the long-overdue biography of Olympe de Gouges, a pioneer, prophet, and heroine of the French Revolution. De Gouges played a crucial yet often under-recognized role in the revolutionary period of 1789, fighting passionately for women’s rights. Known for boldly publishing the "Declaration of the Rights of Woman and of the Female Citizen" in 1791, she became a voice for the oppressed, only to be silenced by the guillotine due to her advocacy.
This first-ever biography of de Gouges explores her courage, intellect, and significant contributions to women’s rights and gender equality during a time when women’s voices were suppressed. Mousset challenges the historical marginalization of de Gouges, highlighting her call for the emergence of a new woman, one who could reshape her image and challenge the patriarchal norms of the time.
The book provides a fresh perspective on Olympe de Gouges, examining her role in the French Revolution, her courage to speak out against male-dominated authority, and her enduring legacy. This biography is an invaluable resource for students of the French Revolution, women's studies, and biography.
