I translated the Jules Michelet quote, presumably originally in French, (along with most of the rest of this article) from the German-language article. I cannot find the original French of the quote or a previously published English translation, and my German is not so great. If anyone can find the French original or a more reliable translation, that would be nice. Jmabel 09:20, 23 Dec 2003 (UTC)
I just received the following email from Françoise Zylberberg; I don't really have a lot of time to work on this article right now, but I've put it here for anyone who may wish to follow up. I've emaile her and suggested that she open an account and edit this article directly, but I'm putting the information here for anyone else who might want to follow up. In any case, it should make it clear that we have permission to quote from the relevant site and use the pictures. (The attachments were PDFs, hence not very useful for extracting an image; I've saved them and can forward them on request if someone wants them.) -- Jmabel | Talk 17:58, May 15, 2005 (UTC)
[1] anonymously removed "As she had little formal schooling and was illiterate, she must have dictated these to someone literate" and [2] changed her mother from "a seller of finery goods" into "a washerwoman", which hardly fits in with the description of a petit bourgeois family. Both changes were made without comment. No sources cited, but none cited for what was replaced, either. - Jmabel | Talk 03:49, 4 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
She did understand what it was as a Declaration fo the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. Women in that time wernt french citizens at all, only men were. If you read her Declaration, it is giving more specific rights to women, as they had close to none.
France at the time was extremely male dominated. Females didn't have any rights and I don't believe that "Rights of Man and of the Citizen" refered in any way to all French citizens including women. Refering to "man" as the entire human race didn't come intil much later. In fact, I don't believe women were granted citizenship until much later as well. Carter, 21:38, 7 January 2007
I am not an expert about Olympe de Gouges life... But...
In the English version it is written: "she challenged the oppression of male authority and the notion of male-female inequality. She lost her life to the guillotine due to her revolutionary ideas." It seems like she die because of being feminist.
In the French version... it seems more that she has been condemned to death because she challenged Marat, Robespierre, and the girondin .
The French introduction say she died executed, and that at her death she let lot of writing for the women/men equality. So... ("à sa mort sur l'échafaud en 1793. Elle a laissé de nombreux écrits en faveur des droits civils et politiques des femmes et de l'abolition de l'esclavage des Noirs")
Maybe the introduction has to be changed.Froggy helps ;-) 15:58, 3 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
A quote in a paper after her death said that she had been killed as she had forgotten her place as a woman.
Recently added without citation "Gouges was also a flaming homosexual, and had many partners throughout her life." This should either be cited or removed. - Jmabel | Talk 05:53, 22 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
Is it really correct to use the word feminist for someone who lived at the 18th century? Isn't it an anachronism? Aaker 19:55, 3 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
What word should we use then? I think feminist is just OK! --Ludovicapipa yes? 20:31, 3 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Some online sources also say she was born in 1745; however this article references both dates and the French version of her page says only 1748. Does anyone know which is correct? - IstvanWolf 10:45, 3 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
J'ai donné une contribution hier sur Olympe de Gouges, or elle a été censurée. Je vous rappelle que je suis le principal biographe d'Olympe de Gouges et que mon premier livre sur le sujet a été publié en 1989, réédité en 1989 et une nouvelle version, avec des augmentations importantes a été publiée en 2003 aux editions rené Viénet. J'ai également publié les écrits politiques d'Olympe de Gouges publiés en deux volumes aux editions Côté femmes (1993). Ma biographie a été traduite en allemand et c'est à partir de la version allemande que Paul Noack a publié, en Allemagne, sur le même sujet en utilisant mes travaux. Or dans votre notice, vous vous référez uniquement à Mr. Noack : ce n'est pas sérieux: vous devriez diversifier vos sources et au mois citer mes propres travaux réalisés à partir des archives françaises. D'autre part, le portrait que vous publiez a été reproduit sans mon autorisation, car je possède les droits de ce tableau qui est à Paris. Je vous demande donc des explications sur la censure dont j'ai été l'objet. Olivier Blanc (Paris) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.204.155.28 (talk) 18:26, 4 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
The following paragraphs are garbled:
possess equally the right to mount the speaker's platform."
That same year, in response to the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, she wrote the Déclaration des droits de la Femme et de la Citoyenne ("Declaration of the Rights of Woman and the Citizen"), the first declaration of

In addition, later on the page there is excess whitespace like this:
and then more text. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.14.154.3 (talk) 00:37, 3 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

First recorded in English in 1851, originally meaning "the state of being feminine." Sense of "advocacy of women's rights" is from 1895. Instead Category:Women's rights is very much correct and doesn't fall int a misplaced ideological anachronism wishing to shape the past in its contemporary image and understanding. PS Same goes for the term suffragists.
Since this is a longstanding article with a consistent footnote style I wanted to open a conversation before making the change, but I'd like to convert this article to use Template:Sfn for the footnotes. I think short footnotes are clearer and more useful when an article frequently draws on different page numbers of the same source (as in, for example, Ōyama Sutematsu). Right now this article has a lot of citations to Mousset which really clutter the references. I've just acquired Olivier Blanc's biography and plan to add a lot of citations to it, which will also get repetitive. Are there any objection to switching to the sfn style? ~ L 🌸 (talk) 05:01, 14 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
