Women of the French Revolution, by Winifred Stephens Whale (1870 - 1944)

This project is now complete.  All audio files can be found on our catalog page here:


https://librivox.org/women-of-the-french-revolution-by-winifred-stephens-whale/

(Excerpt) One aspect of this subject of revolutionary women, their connection with the secret societies of the day I have purposely ignored. It is obscure and highly controversial. Unfortunately, though these societies have been much, written about, and especially of late, it has often been in a partisan spirit. This book will constantly deal with parties, but I trust not in the spirit of a partisan.
Of the three methods of treating this subject, the strictly chronological method, the biographical, and a classification according to the play of ideas and the modes and fields of action, I have chosen the last. Though it has its drawbacks, one of which is some slight repetition, it seems to me that this method gives the clearest impression of the movement as a whole, and of the part women played in it.

:D I see we're still in high speed mode!!! I can keep them coming but keep in mind that I can also wait as long as you want.

I have to admit that the constant switch from English to French was very challenging in this one. It felt like pronunciation gymnastics. :lol:

Stay cool!
