In this episode, we delve into the life and legacy of Olympe de Gouges, an often forgotten, yet really remarkable, player in the French Revolution.
Olympe was a playwright, activist, advocate and so much more. She's most famous for her
Declaration of the Rights of Woman and of the Female Citizen and her tragic end, but her story is so much more. We hope you love her as much as we do!
