Olympe de Gouges was the most important fighter for women's rights
you've never heard of. An activist and writer in revolutionary
Paris, she published 'The Declaration of the Rights of Women' in
1791, and was beheaded two years later, her articulate demands for
equality proving too much for their time. Over one hundred and
fifty years later, the key statements of her declaration were
internationally endorsed by the United Nations in its Declaration
on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women, which in turn
went on to be legally recognized by nearly every country in the
world. This volume presents both of these key texts along with
enlightening and inspiring commentary from a host of powerful
women, from Virginia Woolf to Hillary Clinton.
