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 Berges 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.
