One of the founding mothers of feminism was Olympe de Gouges, a French writer and political activist who lived from 1748 to 1793. She was married at a very young age and after her husband died, she moved to Paris with her son and began her career as a playwright. A playwright can also be called a dramatist or a dramaturge. In the years prior to the French Revolution, as political tension rose in France, Olympe de Gouges became increasingly politically engaged. The social issues she took up ranged from road improvement to divorce, maternity hospitals, and the rights of unmarried mothers. Her most well-known piece of work is the Declaration of the Rights of Woman and of the Female Citizen, in which she highlighted the failures of the French Revolution in the recognition of sexual equality. But, if you ask me, a woman could not have been able to write such a long and complex text. Even though she failed to create any lasting impact on the direction of the Revolution, she will always be remembered as one of the first and most influential feminists.
