Women's demand for equal rights compared them with whom?

Correct answer: Men

During the French Revolution, women demanded civil and political rights equal to those of men. They sought rights such as voting, education, work, and participation in public life, which were largely available to men. Feudal lords represented privileged groups, not the group with whom women compared their rights. Exam tip: Link women’s demands with the revolutionary ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity.
