Autorenporträt
MARIE-JEANNE ROLAND (1754-1793) was one of several women who became quite visible during the French Revolution. Marriage to a civil servant brought her to Paris two years after the uprising began, and she started hosting a salon several times a week. It was attended by such important political figures as Robespierre and Thomas Paine, among others. Moreover, through letters and private conversations, Mme. Roland's sharp political analyses and ideological tenacity became influential. Sadly, her outspoken support of democratic ideals led to her execution in 1703 during the Reign of Terror that followed the revolution.
