Synopsis:
Aristocrats and bourgeoises , royalists and republicans, as well as servants and peasants, left accounts of the turbulence they witnessed. These women's chronicles, now restored to the historiography of the Revolution, range from the political to the personal and eloquently attest to the human costs of radical social change.
