Introduction

This paper aims to analyze and interpret the images from the 'Unruly Women of Paris' by Gullickson. About five of the images have been interpreted according to the French history. The analysis of women's picture is made because the women have been very active, united at that difficult time. Feminism was an important political movement which demanded empowerment and inclusion in the established political institutions. Feminism occurred in three different phases which can be described as three waves.

At many times women have joined together and acted in concert. But feminism, as a more formal political movement that demanded inclusion in and empowerment through established political institutions, can be described as occurring in three different waves or movements. The first wave is commonly traced back to the emergence of movements demanding suffrage for women. However, it should be noted that women played a central role in the French Revolution; the fight for universal rights was successful in part because of women's participation in the democratic uprising (Gullickson, 1996).

Female revolutionary, Olympe de Gouges responded with the Declaration of the Rights of Woman and the Female Citizen in 1791; however, her document did not win endorsement by the government or a majority of the French population. Modern feminism and modern forms of democratic citizenship have identical origins. As long as the universal rights of citizens have been declared, women have demanded inclusion. However, this movement was denied success for more than 100 years (Wilson, 1984).

Theroigne was not the only ones to suffer from this stigma against sex, and, in autumn 1793, all political activity of women was officially prohibited, with the closure of women's clubs. This change of opinion with regard to women, treated monsters when they took part in political life, the design reflected the revolutionaries, influenced by Rousseau, then had the company, in which the political space was for ...
