Page "French Revolution" Paragraph 141

While limited by her gender, Madame Roland took it upon herself to spread Revolutionary ideology and spread word of events, as well as to assist in formulating the policies of her political allies.

Though unable to directly write policies or carry them through to the government, Roland was able to influence her political allies and thus promote her political agenda.

Roland attributed women ’ s lack of education to the public view that women were too weak or vain to be involved in the serious business of politics.

She believed that it was this inferior education that turned them into foolish people, but women " could easily be concentrated and solidified upon objects of great significance " if given the chance.
