Questions refer to the passage below.
Olympe de Gouges (1748-1793) was an early supporter of the French Revolution. The 1791 constitution extended male suffrage, but that right was not granted to women. De Gouges responded in the following passage:
"Women, wake up; the tocsin of reason is being heard throughout the whole universe; discover your rights. The powerful empire of nature is no longer surrounded by prejudice, fanaticism, superstition, and lies . . . Oh, women, women! When will you cease to be blind? What advantage have you received from the Revolution? A more pronounced scorn, a more marked disdain . . . Regardless of what barriers confront you, it is in your power to free yourselves; you have only to want to. . . .
I offer a foolproof way to elevate the soul of women; it is to join them in all activities of man; if man persists in finding this way impractical, let him share his fortune with woman, not at his caprice, but by the wisdom of laws. Prejudice falls, morals are purified, and nature regains all her rights."
Declaration of the Rights of Woman and the Female Citizen (1791), Olympe de Gouges
