Restrictions on women during the Reign of Terror raise what question about the language of equality?

Correct answer: Whether equality really applied equally to women too

During the Reign of Terror, women’s political clubs were closed and women were barred from political activity. This makes us question whether the Revolution’s language of liberty and equality was actually applied to women. Option A concerns the economic crisis, whereas the question focuses on the limits of political equality. Exam tip: remember the contrast between revolutionary ideals and women’s actual rights.
