Les Droits De La Femme

Les Droits De La Femme, written by Olympe de Gouges in 1790, is a political pamphlet advocating for women's rights and gender equality during the Enlightenment and early French Revolution. De Gouges asserts that women are born free and should possess equal rights to men, addressing issues such as education, marriage, and social roles. This seminal work laid the groundwork for modern feminist thought and was influential in shaping future discussions on women's rights, culminating in its recognition by the United Nations over a century later.
