Description
On October 5, 1789, thousands of Parisian women, driven to exhaustion by famine and royal inaction, march on Versailles. They demand bread and insist on the return of the King and his family to Paris. This event, often called the Women's March on Versailles, is a powerful testament to the political and social role of women, even without the right to vote, during times of crisis. Their action had a major impact on the beginning of the French Revolution.
