Through a literary essay and a selection of texts from the period, the reader will discover a woman who challenged established powers, from the aristocracy to the revolutionaries themselves, and who paid a high price for her boldness. A fascinating portrait of a cursed heroine who dreamed of an army of armed women and whose story resonates strongly in the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book delves into the life and thought of Anne-Josèphe Théroigne de Méricourt, a figure who embodied revolutionary fury in its purest state. The work reconstructs her path, from her bursting onto the National Assembly, where she demanded the creation of female battalions, to the rejection and condemnation she suffered at the hands of her contemporaries. It explores the reasons why she was branded \"mad,\" \"hysterical,\" or \"cannibal,\" and how her radical defense of women's participation in the public sphere turned her into an uncomfortable myth. Through documents of the time, the reader witnesses the birth of a legend that terrorized the aristocracy and fascinated poets like Baudelaire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe French Revolution from a gender perspective.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe myth of the Amazons and the warrior woman in history.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe construction of the \"hysterical\" figure as a tool of political discredit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe struggle for citizenship and women's political rights in the 18th century.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eExcess and transgression as political weapons.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in the history of women, feminism, and social movements.

The edition, part of the \"Memorias del Subsuelo\" collection, offers a rigorous and combative approach that shuns hagiography to present a Théroigne who is complex, contradictory, and deeply human.
