Olympe de Gouges was a French playwright and political activist during the late 18th century. This revolutionary woman contributed to the rights of women, and all human beings, through her writing and her life. She was sentenced to death by guillotine because she criticized the Revolutionary government and for associating with Griondists. This book has her original manifesto, other references, and illustrations by a gathering of artists.
