  • Summary

  • The Declaration on the Rights of Woman, written by Olympe de Gouges in 1791, paralleled the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen but aimed to assert equal rights for women. It emphasized women's right to education, property ownership, and participation in government. After writing it, Olympe de Gouges faced opposition and was eventually arrested during the Reign of Terror in France. She was convicted of treason and executed in 1793, highlighting the challenges and dangers faced by early advocates of women's rights during the French Revolution.
