People often think of feminism as a modern movement, born out of voting rights debates in the 1920s. But strong women have been fighting for equality in society since the start, as evidenced by Olympe de Gouges, the French revolutionary writer who would die by the guillotine due to the radical nature of her work. Olympe started as a poor child in the French countryside under a much different name, and her advancement to a published writer and playwright active in the Paris Salon scene is one of the most remarkable tales of a self-made woman. Both her well-known and lesser-known works still hold up to entertain and enlighten people today.
