Mary+Wollstonecraft's+connection+to+the+revolutions

French Revolution- In the French Revolution there was the "March on Versailles". This march was a march by women to Versailles to counter the rise of bread prices. Normally the men would be the ones to march and protest for their rights and this showed some progress in gender equality. This connects to Mary Wollstonecraft because she believed in gender equality. The french national assembly sometime after then allowed a bill to make gender equality a right. They went to the assembly after the march and set up a decree.

American Revolution- In the American Revolution there was a lot of effort by women. One of these groups of women were the Anglo-American women. There were three main women in this group. These women were Margaret Inglis, Susannah Robinson, and Mary Morris. These women played a part in the American Revolution because they planned to kidnap the mayor of Albany. At the time women plotting something like kidnap of a government official was unheard of. This sparked a change in the equality between men and women. This connects Mary Wollstonecraft because she believed in gender equality. The women in the revolution had key parts of keeping out freedom. For example everyone knows who Betsy Ross is. She made the American Flag. This shows that women's rights was a growing concept during the American Revolution.
