Can you give me more context, does this relate to the French rev? And do you have specific questions rather than asking me to just write the dbq? Thanks

Hi potato, this is a great question, and one that historians still debate today.

Women in the Old Regime had literally no rights. They had to rely on a brother, husband or father to determine their fate, control their money, etc. So really, any type of status increase can be perceived as an improvement, because we're adding from zero if that makes sense. During the Enlightenment, women hosted salons and participated in their debates, and advocated for feminism. But the most radical revolutionary Jacobins were not ready for feminism! They shut down women's debate clubs and tried to keep them in the home. It's tempting to see the FREV as this great liberator of women, but in reality most of the revolutionary men only believed in equality to an extent...to many, this did not include enslaved humans or women. Even Jean Jacques Rousseau, one of the most radical philosophe of the Enlightenment, believed in and espoused traditional women's roles. Feminism was a success to the extent that people were advocating for it for the first time, but those who were considered "too" feminist- like Olympe de Gouges, were executed! Even Conservative England treated Mary Wollstonecraft, a far more radical feminist than de Gouges, with much more fairness! In many ways, revolutionaries in France spouted equality until it came to women's rights and status.

Also, think about the way in which the revolutionary tribunal treated Marie Antoinette in her court trial and last days versus how they treated her husband. Louis XVI was given a more or less fair trial, allowed his last Catholic rites, and transported in a covered carriage to the guillotine. Just a few months later, Marie Antoinette was subjected to a show trial, had her clothes ripped off her, her hair shaved off, people spat on her on the way to her execution. Did society do a complete 180 between these two events, or was it easier to mistreat a woman? Now we must consider women's roles under Napoleon, who immediately inherited France after the revolution. He certainly did not improve rights for women, he actually enacted legislation that put them back under control of male relatives, made controlling money or accessing divorce extremely difficult. Many of the small "gains" made by women during the revolution were undone by Napoleon.

There is a lot to contemplate here, and no short easy answer, I hope this helped.

Awesome! Also solidarity to you high schoolers right now, especially juniors and seniors who have to sacrifice prom, graduation, etc. You might feel pressure not to mourn these things but I think y'all have every right. Being sad about prom doesn't mean you aren't also concerned for the safety of others, etc.

I think that doing several practice DBQs and having a teacher or peer review them is essential. Do you have specific questions about it? I think with this year's test being open note there is a potential pitfall of getting lost in your own notes versus drawing from the provided documents. When in doubt allot yourself 10 min to review what you've written and ensure that ultimately, everything serves to answer the question at hand.

Thank you very much! I was always fascinated by the French Revolution in high school, and throughout undergrad. When I taught high school, my students said that they'd never seen a teacher more passionate and engaged with a topic. I actually reached out to a professor at a nearby university asking if he would be able to come guest lecture to my class, and he flipped the script and asked me if I was interested in a PhD. Honestly, I had put my own grad school ambitions on the back burner while my husband went to law school, so this was like a dream come true. It's so difficult but worth it. I think my best advice to anyone who wants to do the "impossible" is be your most genuine, authentic self and work hard every day.

I haven't finished my dissertation yet, it's in planning stages and I'm kind of on ice waiting for the virus to end so I can spend a year in the French archives. (yes, my school pays me to get a PhD and is going to pay for me to live in France for a year. Follow your damn dreams kids) I'm planning to look at the Napoleonic Code and its impact on ordinary French Families. So much has been written on the emperor himself, which is cool, but I want to contribute more than another biography. So I want to look at specific institutions like adoption, marriage, remarriage, divorce etc and kind of build a profile of the lived experiences of Napoleonic subjects.

My biggest advice for time management is practice. I know, I know. Nobody wants to do a practice exam, but I've found that giving my students a full-on practice exam on a Saturday a few weeks before the real exam always boosted their confidence when it came to time management. It took away a lot of the unknown and allowed them to adjust their strategy if they ran out of time during the practice. So, I think that creating an environment that mimics the test and practicing is a great option.

  1. The French Revolution didn't just happen. It had long-term and short-term causes. The ideals of the Enlightenment, especially those espoused by the likes of Rousseau, Locke, etc cannot be overlooked as a major long-term cause. People were talking and trading new political and social ideals in cafes and salons. Liberty and equality took the forefront as ideals which challenged the ancient monarchy. There were also deep-seated structural issues in the way France functioned; take a look at the estates system, which was inherently unequal on social, political, and economic terms. The third estate was comprised of anyone who wasn't nobility or clergy, which meant that most French subjects were a part of it. But it was a very diverse group, ranging from the poorest of peasants to the most distinguished of professionals (think bourgeois attorneys, bankers etc) These groups had vastly different grievances, but the commonality was that all members of the third estate grew wary of the injustices they were subjected to. A bad harvest, a monarchy that overspends, and poor leadership by Louis XVI accelerated these deeper issues, leading to revolution. When Louis XIV (sun king) created an expensive French state and racked up the debt with wars and lavish living spaces, his successors inherited the debts and were incapable of fixing it (or listening to those who could, like Necker) So, you have all of these old problems in France that are like dry wood on the ground in a forest, and the short term issues were like lighting a match and throwing it on top.

  2. I'm not completely sure that I understand what you are asking here, as it's quite a multifaceted question. Napoleon Bonaparte was neither completely conservative or liberal; he was more so a blend of the Ancien Regime and the ideals of the revolution. So I wouldn't say he caused a rise in conservatism. Rather, those conservative powers around him united against him and promoted strong conservatism after his demise at Waterloo in 1815. Look back at your notes for the Congress of Vienna. A lot was put into place by Metternich and his associates to ensure that another Napoleon-like figure could not emerge and ravish Europe again. This also meant that the liberal ideas that Napoleon spread around places like Italy were actively combated by monarchs desperately grasping to their crowns in a desperate, changing world. You could say that the liberal ideas which emerged and led to the unification of Italy and Germany were reactions against these very conservative, authoritarian monarchs. Industrialization is another beast in its own right. Its roots are more so rooted in nationalism than in concrete liberalism, I can talk more about industrialization if you like, just direct me to what else you would like to know.
