That’s what Olympe de Gouges (1748- 1793) proposed in her
Declaration of the Rights of Woman and of the Female
Citizen, written in 1791 during the French Revolution.
She denounced the exclusion of women from the 1789
Declaration of the Rights of Men and of the Citizen.
This pioneer of feminism also fought for abolishing slavery
and the right to divorce. She was condemned to death by
the revolutionary tribunal in 1793
