Women and the French Revolution

In otl women played a measurable part in the actual actions in the French Revolution.

They were not given voting rights. Later Napoleon actually wrote laws that reinforced their submission.

However on many other issues the revolution was incredibly radical.

Is it possible that women could have gained more rights and maybe leadership positions?

Would it have had any effect on the actual events of 1790 to 1815?

If this happened would it have helped or harmed the 19th Century women's movement outside France?

However, you'd probably need for the Girondins to win over the Jacobin for her to have a big impact. If this is the case, likely, it's because Austria doesn't invade France at just the wrong moment and Louis Capet ( and his familly ) are likely spared. The impact of this on european history is so big that the butterflies wings cover the whole globe.
 
In my ATL website, the Girondins managed to make France and then Europe a federal republic (kind of like spain today in OTL).

And women had equal rights from the start (that and the death penalty was abolished, so Lavoisier lived, but that's another story).

About women I havn't thought of the impacts, except having a society as today earlier, where they have children and a career and sometimes only a career.
 
Where can I find it?

Unless you're talking about Republique universelle on the sden site, which I already know.
 
Marie Antoinette had been unfairly maligned by her enemies; there was one recent biography of her I was looking for, and found some interesting pages...

And what if Louis XVII had survived? What if he had managed to get to Louisiana and remained king there?
