Excerpt from Les Femmes Enceintes Devant le Tribunal R�volutionnaire: D'Apr�s des Documents In�dits

Bien des femmes, cependant, affol�es par l'id�e de mourir, avant de passer du guichet � la charrette, se d�claraient sur le point d'�tre m�res et obtenaient un sursis. C'�tait une r�gle traditionnelle du droit p�nal'. Les m�decins du tribunal d�cidaient de leur sort, et la plupart du temps, il faut l'avouer, leur diagnostic concluait trop vite � l'ex�cution imm�diate.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a gripping exploration of a dark chapter in history - the execution of pregnant women during the French Revolution. The author, a historian, delves into the chilling details of these tragic events, drawing on first-hand accounts, autopsy reports, and court documents. The book exposes the stark reality of the era, where revolutionary fervor often overshadowed basic human compassion, leading to the execution of innocent women simply because they were suspected of royalist sympathies. The author analyzes the legal and medical criteria used to determine pregnancy at the time, highlighting the arbitrary and often erroneous nature of these assessments. It also sheds light on the courage and resilience of these women, many of whom faced their fate with unwavering dignity. Through its meticulous research and compelling narrative, this book provides a profound insight into the depths of human suffering and the fragility of justice during a period of extreme political upheaval. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334977480_0
