THESIS: Women took part in the French Revolution primarily because of writings like Olympe de Gouges's Declaration on the Rights of Woman and the Female Citizen and Nicolas de Condorcet's On the Admission of Women to the Rights of Citizenship; if not for women being educated by such publications, they would not have been inspired to participate in the revolution alongside the men.
