`A lucid and wide-ranging survey of the changing role of women in insurgent movements in nineteenth-century France that will be invaluable for those interested in both women's studies and French history' - Pamela M. Pilbeam, Royal Holloway, University of London.

The conclusions challenge the view that in nineteenth-century France women retreated altogether from popular movements.
