Online Lecture: The Women of the French Revolution — Courage & Change

Join local expert and educator Caroline Buizza for a powerful exploration of the women who helped shape the French Revolution. Some were celebrated, others nearly forgotten — but all played a part in one of the most transformative chapters in French history. From writers and political activists to everyday citizens swept up in the fervor of change, these women met the Revolution with courage, conviction and, at times, great personal risk. Through vivid stories and insightful context, their lives and legacies are brought into focus as essential voices in the founding of modern France.
