Olimpia de Gouges

Olympe de Gouges was a French playwright and political activist who lived during the revolutionary period and became known for advocating women's rights, most famously through her "Declaration of the Rights of Woman and of the Female Citizen" written in 1791. She was executed during the Reign of Terror in 1793, but her work challenging gender inequality became influential in the long history of feminist thought and women's movements.
