Abstract
This book is a biography of Marie-Olympe de Gouges, a French woman born in 1748 in Montauban. Olivier Blanc, the author, is a French historian born in 1951. He does research about the XVIIIth century and more particularly about the French Revolution and the status of the diplomats during this period. This Book, published in 1981, is his first main work, and it allows the author to rehabilitate the figure of Olympe de Gouges. This revolutionary woman was not only a pioneer in terms of feminism but also abolitionism. The author has opted for a chronological approach, as the book deals with the life of this amazing woman from her birth in Montauban in 1748, to her death, the 3 of November in 1793 by decapitation.
