Antoinette Frank’s hiring was neglectful because throughout the hiring process she lied a couple of times and even though she was caught she was still hired. She had lied about her mental health as she had received psychiatric help when she was young. Even after failing the psychological evaluation twice she was still granted the police officer position.

During the March on Versailles, women boldly took a stand against unfair charges. Prices were increasing so much on bread alone, that they could not afford to buy it for their families.

The March on Versailles was made up of six thousand women, who marched from Paris to Versailles, in the pouring rain.
Alice Paul proved she was a brave woman when she stood outside of the White House to protest about women’s suffrage. The signs the picketers held were created intending to put conflict towards President Wilson. Paul and a group of women from the National Women’s Party were protesting outside the White House, when the police came and arrested them for “Obstructing Traffic”. While they were in prison, Paul started a hunger strike by herself first and then eventually the other National Women’s Party members went on a hunger strike to prove that they weren’t giving up and would fight through anything. Alice and a few others were force fed through a torturous method.
This made the French Revolution really kick off. The Third Estate community now understood that they were being taken advantaged of. They began raids such as The Women’s March on Versailles. “After meeting with a delegation of these women, who tearfully described how their children were starving for lack of bread, Louis XVI promised them grain supplies for Paris, thinking that this would end the protest. But the women’s action had forced the Paris National Guard under Lafayette to follow their lead and march to Versailles” (569 Spielvogel)

One of the greatest examples that showed Lafayette 's moderacy was the Women 's March on Versailles. The previous decrees from the monarchy required a price control on crops such as grain. But once the free market was allowed to dictate the prices of grain, bread became more expensive and increasingly scarce. Peasant women demanded that they personally see the king, and more importantly, that the royal family move to the palace in France.
These “spinning bees” demonstrated the competency of American women and their ability to support the nation, as Ray Raphael, author of A People’s History of the American Revolution, describes, “without departing from traditional concepts of femininity.” Female participation in the revolution, however, did not only involve stereotypical “women’s work,” such as caring for the household in the men’s absence and making textiles for the military. A significant number of women, in particular those of lower social rank, initiated political protests and public riots. In A People’s History of the American Revolution,
“Let them eat cake”. This famous quote is most commonly associate with Marie Antoinette, rumored to have said this when told that the peasants could not afford to eat bread. However, this was not the case, as Marie Antoinette never said such a thing. Instead, Marie Antoinette was one of the more compassionate queens of France.

When most people think of the Revolutionary War, they envision heroic battles fought by men such as George Washington and Paul Revere. But equally important in America’s victory were the heroic deeds of the women of the time, both on the front lines and behind the scenes.. One of the first ways women got involved in the revolutionary movement was by boycotting British items. Men believed that it was going to be hard to get the women to boycott, however it was not (Slavicek 17). Since the Patriots would not buy supplies from the British, women now needed to step up and take the job of making their own cloth and turning it into clothes (Slavicek).
In her 1975 article, “Feminism in the French Revolution,” Jane Abray provides a dismissive view of women’s movements during the Revolution. In the article, Abray emphasizes the failures of revolutionary feminism. In her opinion, the most compelling reason for revolutionary feminism’s failure was that it was a minority interest that remained inaccessible to the majority of French women who accepted their inferior status to men. Abray suggests additional reasons for the movement’s “abject failure,” including its inability to garner support from the male leaders of the Revolution, the disreputable characters of the feminist leaders, the strategic errors made by the movement’s leaders, and a “spirit of the times” that emphasized the nuclear family
The Women’s March on Versailles began on October 5, 1789 in the streets of Paris (Sherman 494). The event, also referred to as the October Days or the October March (Racz 160), would play an important role in the French Revolution as the women of Paris rallied against the French government. What began as a demand for a steady source of nutrition became a way for the women of France to take political action of their own. Ultimately, the march, which included an eleven-mile journey to Versailles, ended in the transfer of King Louis XVI and the rest of the royal family to Paris (Sherman 494). With the leaders of the French monarchy in captivity, the march would have a lasting legacy that not only advanced the French citizens’ uprise against their government.
THE EVIDENCE Science is a useful discipline; however science is limited by the technology of that generation. Compare science today to science a hundred years ago; now imagine science a thousand years into the future…. Compared to other objects in space we are microscopic organism and eons away from a scientific explanation. To understand Epiphany, all you need is common sense; however, there are some "smart" people who find Epiphany difficult to comprehend.
They argued that the right to bear arms would consequentially ‘convert’ women into full citizens, rather than ‘passive citizens’. Thus, on 5th October, a mob of almost 7,000 women marched from Paris to Versailles. They chanted ‘Bread! Bread!’ in response to the King and Queen hoarding bread and feasting in the Palace of Versailles while the common people, the ‘Third Estate’ starved and suffered.
