BELLEVUE, Wash. - EntSun -- During the 18th century French women—unless widowed—were forbidden to:
* Work outside the home in most professions.
* Own businesses.
* Inherit or own land.
* Sign contracts other than those of marriage.
* Attend universities—even widows could not attend.
* Vote, regardless of marital status. (French women won the right to vote 4/21/1944 prior to the liberation of France 8/25/1944.)
* Wear breeches: Dressing like a man was a crime punishable by having your head shaved and being sentenced to nine months in an asylum.
What was an 18th century French woman to do if she wanted control of her own life?
* Not remarry if widowed.
* Learn to impersonate a man.
* Learn to shoot to kill and will herself to do so.
* Travel the tunnels beneath Paris while dressed as a man.
* Develop business partnerships with other women conducting commerce—illegally.
* Procure false identity papers for the man you are impersonating, a traitorous crime punishable by guillotine.
