What was the role of women in the French Revolution?

Think of individuals before, during, and immediately after the revolutionary events, giving examples (names of one, with her significance) for each of the three Estates, e.g. a woman from the ruling aristocratic class, a woman from working and/or peasant class, and a woman from the middle class – bourgeois.

Use and cite (in-text) at least once your e-book, a video documentary (see suggestions below), and an academic source of your choice found at our library or online (also have work cited section at the end).

For video documentary consider watching Women and the French Revolution by Tom Richey:
Olympe de Gouges and the Rights of Woman (Women and the French Revolution: Part 3) (Links to an external site.)
Olympe de Gouges and the Rights of Woman (Women and the French Revolution: Part 3)
It has three parts, and all are about 10-15 minutes long, free on YouTube. Ignore Tom Richey’s (mis)pronunciation of French names and places.

For a broader picture on the revolution consider watching the History Channel’s French Revolution: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rxu5vhHktaQ (Links to an external site.)

(about 1 hour 29 min long). The image quality may not be superb, but it’s free of charge, on YouTube.

Write a 600-word response. Include at least 4 dates/periods, e.g. the year when X happened, the century when Y ruled, etc. Utilize and provide answers to the general historical questions – Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How as you go.

Do make sure that when you use sources (e.g. your e-text, website, video, publication), the acknowledged sources are less than 20% of total words of your paper. Cite properly your sources: at the end of quoted or paraphrased line, in brackets state author and page number, or simply name of website/video, and at the end of the paper state the full citation. For illustration, see pdf attachment on MLA by Vanguard: https://www.google.com/#q=mla+format+template and check this link out for writing, referencing and originality tips; book a meeting with the writing center and take your draft along.

For details on originality, see the course syllabus and the MSU Policy on Academic Integrity. Violations of the policy (e.g. if more than 20% of paper consists of non-original material, whether quoted or not cited, will result in grade nil – ‘zero’).
