法国大革命时期的性别歧视和女权运动

本文探讨了法国大革命时期的性别歧视与女权运动的关系。性别歧视是一个反文明、反民主的毒瘤。法国大革命标榜"人权",却反对妇女享有同等的权利,这直接引发了妇女为争取自身利益和解放的斗争。女权运动使名不见经传的法国妇女登上了历史的舞台,并在一定程度上行使了公民权利。但是,性别歧视的政策逐步升级使妇女的政治权利受到排斥,世界上第一次女权运动也最终夭折。     

Pierre-Antoine Antonelle and representative democracy in the French Revolution

This article examines the political thought of Pierre-Antoine Antonelle, a prominent democrat during the French Revolution. In pamphlets and newspaper articles between 1795 and 1799 he put forth an elaborate theory of ‘representative democracy’ which was a novel and radical vision of political reform and republican international order. His political and economic plan for a democratic future was focused on conceptualizing a realistic transition path to a genuinely republican society. In the wake of historians who pointed out the existence and importance of the idea of ‘representative democracy’ during the Directory, this article delves into the content of this idea by placing it in the context of Antonelle and his fellow travellers’ political struggle to consolidate the Republic while avoiding both anarchy and aristocracy.
