Hundreds of women marched the 12 miles from Paris to Versailles in the rain. They hoped to voice their plight to the royal family and demand change
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
Major bread shortages and rumors of the royal family plotting a counterrevolution pushed working-class women to the brink. Their frustration turned to action.
OLYMPE DE GOUGES
Things quickly got out of control at Versailles. The women were joined by men. They broke into the palace and killed two guards. The King and Queen agreed to leave their palace and live in their home in Paris. They would never return to Versailles
EXECUTION
Inspired by the Declaration of Independence, the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen promised French men Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. The problem: it neglected women!
Writing under the pen-name Olympe De Gouges, Marie Gauze showed how women had been excluded from the promises made in the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen by publishing the Declaration of the Rights of Woman.
In 1793, De Gouges was labeled an agitator and an enemy of the Revolution. She was executed for these crimes.
