Peasant Woman (RJ Mathieu)
Oh My! The atrocities of the September Massacres! I peered through tearful eyes as thousands upon thousands of innocent people were executed. Commoners, nobility, and thieves, all bunched together into one group, "To be executed." I watched as the blood mongers tore through the crowds. I can agree as much as the next women. Change must come... But not like this. We must allow it to take its time; choose its own path. Not force it along like an oversized man through a small doorway. Shouts filled the air, "Vive la nation!" The pure chaos overloaded the senses. Heads were thrust onto spikes. Children, lost upon the street, helpless. This is not a random killing, my husband told me. This is a statement. A statement that can only be appeased by death. A flame, quenched only by blood. This is wrong.
I agree with you. My name is Jacque Martin and I am a member of the sans-culottes. I feel we are on the wrong path, we must defeat our adversaries not kill innocent women and children. The revolutionaries of France must control what we are doing and find a better way to revolutionize France.

ReplyDeleteWe as women of Paris have been oppressed for too long we must fight for our freedom and die trying to gain our freedom. Too long we have waited to stand as equals of men and to have equal rights as men.
Urban Woman (Vikky Iannotti)
ReplyDeleteI can completely relate to you. I always find myself scared and worried, just like you. I continue to hope that this will end and that's what you need to do as well. Things will get better once the revolutionaries realize that what they're doing is wrong. Just hope for a brighter future!
Mary Wollstonecraft (Emma Schambers)
ReplyDeleteYou should feel and believe that you have much power as any man. As a woman, you may feel as if you cannot make a change, but you can certainly make a change. If you are passionate about your cause and making a change, as a woman you could try to protect those people. You could also change things for us women. Show men that we have as much ability as them to make a change!
Voltaire (Grace Fitch)
ReplyDeleteWoman can make a change, but change does not just come. Although it forms through actions and words, words speak greater than any action. As a woman, you must speech your ideas and beliefs. Fight for them through your words of persuasion. People will see your suffering as long as you explain your experiences to them. You can make a change if you desire; just speak up
