200 years ago, the women of revolutionary Paris were demanding legal equality in marriage; educational opportunities for girls, including vocational training; public instruction, licensing, and support for midwives; guarantees for women's rights to employment; and an end to the exclusion of women from certain professions. The editors have uncovered, translated, and annotated sixty documents which shed light on these and other socioeconomic struggles by women and their impact on the French Revolutionary era. This work makes a significant contribution to the growing appreciation of the role of women in history, politics, ideology, and social change.''This unique collection of documents will be a boon to teachers of history and to scholars of the French Revolution. . . . Recommended.''-- Library Journal

The Book Exchange ''This unique collection of documents will be a boon to teachers of history and to scholars of the French Revolution... Recommended.'' Library Journal
