The "French Declaration of the Rights of Woman and the Female Citizen" was written in 1791 by Olympe de Gouges as a response to the "Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen." This document aimed to highlight the inequalities faced by women during the French Revolution and to assert their rights as equal citizens. It emphasized that women should have the same legal rights and opportunities as men. In the declaration, Gouges argued for women's rights to vote, hold public office, and participate in the social contract. She called for an end to gender discrimination and sought to promote gender equality in all aspects of society, laying the groundwork for future feminist movements.
