What was the role of women in the French Revolution
________________________________________________
Think of examples before, during, and immediately after the revolutionary events, giving examples
for all three Estates, e.g. someone from the ruling aristocratic class, women from working and
peasant class, and someone from middle class bourgeois.
Use and cite at least once your e-book, a video documentary (see suggestions below), and an
academic source of your choice found at our library or online.
For video documentary consider watching Women and the French Revolution by Tom Richey:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QG3Zg12YcUQ It has three parts, and all are about 10-15 minutes
long, free on YouTube. Ignore Tom Richeys (mis)pronunciation of French names and places.
For a broader picture on the revolution consider watching the History Channels French Revolution:

charge, on YouTube.
Write an 800 word response. Include at least 4 dates/periods, e.g. the year when X happened, the
century when Y ruled, etc. Utilize and provide answers to the general historical questions Who,
What, When, Where, Why, and How as you go.
Do make sure that when you use sources (e.g. your e-text, website, video, publication), the
acknowledged sources are less than 10% of total words of your paper. Cite properly your sources: at
the end of quoted or paraphrased line, in brackets state author and page number, or simply name of
website/video, and at the end of the paper state the full citation. For illustration, see pdf

If more than 10% of paper consists of non-original material, whether quoted or not cited, will
result in grade nil zero).
