The French Revolution, a period calling for liberty and inequality, failed to produce the rights and respect of women in their society. Although women contributed a great deal to the French Revolution, their involvement always proved controversial. Whether they were rioting over the price of food at local markets, petitioning for political participation, or making bandages for the war, women in the eyes of the majority were overbearing and undeserving of citizenship.

The role of women was very influential in the french revoloution. They have been a part of the french society as an underestimated group. But they have been in the revolutionary activities right from the beginning. They have only demanded equal rights for all citizens of the country. They formed clubs and organisations for protesting against the inequalities between men and woman in the society. The women who were members of the clergy and church could enjoy certain privileges and were sent to schools but the women who were of the third estate had to earn their livelihood by working. They did things like doing houshold activities, bringing bread for the family etc. Some women also came up as revolutionary leaders. The significance of woman has been seen in the French revolution magnificently. They have been inspirational to all women in the rest of the world.

During the French Revolution, women, especially in Paris, stepped out of their traditional domestic role as a mother and wife, and extended into the turbulent world of revolutionary politics. They were directly involved with major events, such as the attack on the Bastille, the October Days of 1789, the Reign of Terror, and bread riots throughout the revolution. Women also experienced the new and short-lived phenomenon of mixed and women’s-only clubs such as the Les Amies de la Verite and the Club des Citoyennes Republicans Revolutionaries. The feminist movement, guided by Olympe de Gouges, the Marquise de Condorcet, and Etta Palm d’Aelders, had success in the sense that it achieved the most important of its far-reaching goals, but failed in the sense that it did not garner support throughout all social classes. There was a significant difference in the experiences shared by the working-class and aristocrats. Women in participated in the Revolution more than anyone from that time would have imagined possible and more than historians had previously thought. Their role was instrumental in the fate of the revolution and will always be remembered as a time that changed the status of women throughout all of Europe

When the Revolution started, some women struck forcefully, using the volatile political climate to assert their active natures. In the time of the Revolution, women could not be kept out of the political sphere. They swore oaths of loyalty, "solemn declarations of patriotic allegiance, [and] affirmations of the political responsibilities of citizenship." De Corday d'Armont is a prime example of such a woman; engaged in the revolutionary political faction of the Girondists, she assassinated the Jacobin leader, Marat. Throughout the Revolution, other women such as Pauline Léon and her Society of Revolutionary Republican Women supported the radical Jacobins, staged demonstrations in the National Assembly and participated in the riots, often using armed force
