Description: "The peaceful revolution' was never a conceivable trajectory in the French Revolution, although it may have been the most viable. Olympe de Gouges (17481793), anti-slavery playwright and intellectual proto feminist, author of the declaration The Rights of Woman (1791), battled with her pen against excessive use of violence and for one of the most important qualities of democracy: freedom of speech and debate. reIn this essay and drama, historian and writer at Arimneste Anima Museum, Lisa Gålmark, sheds new light upon this inciting historical figure and her legacy"--Page [4] of cover.
