Telling the story of three overlooked revolutionary thinkers, _Liberty
in Their Names_ explores the lives and works of Olympe de Gouges,
Sophie de Grouchy and Manon Roland. All three were thinking and
writing about political philosophy, especially equality and social
justice, before the French Revolution. As they became engaged in its
efforts, their political writing became more urgent. At a time when
women could neither vote nor speak at the Assembly, they became
influential through their writings. Yet instead of Gouges, Grouchy and
Roland, we speak of Voltaire, Rousseau and Diderot.
Sandrine Bergès examines the lives and writings of these trailblazing
women philosophers, and their impact on philosophical thought during
the French Revolution. Featuring pictures, a timeline and a
bibliography of their works, this book offers exciting new insights
into the history of political philosophy and of the French Revolution.
