'An impure Joan of Arc' or 'a radiant Penthesilea'-Theroigne de
Mericourt remains one of the most misrepresented figures of the
French revolution. Theroigne loved the Revolution; she refused the
roles prescribed by her sex; and, at the age of thirty-one, she
lost her reason. From these three facts, historians have woven
tenacious myths about women, madness and revolution which reveal
more about their own phantasms and allegiances than about Theroigne
herself. Elisabeth Roudinesco's exploration of Theroigne's life and
afterlife restores a much-wronged woman to her rightful place in
history. After vividly tracing Theroigne's life, Roudinesco applies
psychoanalysis to history, and history to psychiatry. She analyses
the founding fathers of the asylum and the historians of the French
Revolution, using their own assessments of Theroigne as revealing
evidence. Her book adds a new dimension to our understanding of the
French Revolution, early feminism and the birth of the modern
asylum.
