How did Olympe de Gouges promote equality for women in France during the late eighteenth century?

She wanted to be a man of state. ... In the midst of a revolution to extend rights to more men, Olympe de Gouges had the audacity to argue that women, too, should benefit. Her contemporaries were clear that her punishment was, in part, for forgetting her proper place and violating the boundaries set for women. Hope it helps☺️
