Hanna Nina Jameson posted this informative history thread on twitter about French playwright and political activist Olympe de Gouges. She wrote about women’s rights and abolitionism but was executed for supposedly “abandoning the cares of her household to get involved in politics and commit crimes. She died on the guillotine for having forgotten the virtues that suit her sex.” As always, f*ck the patriarchy.
