Dans ce texte révolutionnaire de 1791, Olympe de Gouges se dresse contre les injustices de son époque et réclame l'égalité entre les hommes et les femmes. Dans son pastiche de la Déclaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen, elle revendique pour les femmes une participation pleine et entière à la vie politique, économique et sociale. Ce texte audacieux, précurseur du mouvement féministe, reste un jalon incontournable dans la lutte pour les droits des femmes et résonne encore avec force aujourd'hui.

Cette édition spéciale inclut également le texte de Nicolas de Condorcet, Sur l'admission des femmes au droit de cité (1790), publié un an avant celui de Gouges. Dans ce manifeste, Condorcet, philosophe et homme politique, défend le droit des femmes à participer à la vie publique. Sa pensée, profondément égalitaire, anticipe les questions fondamentales sur la justice et les droits civiques qui se posent encore de nos jours.

Les revendications portées par Olympe de Gouges et Nicolas de Condorcet sont d'une modernité déconcertante. Dans un monde encore marqué par les inégalités de genre, ces deux textes rappellent l'importance de la lutte pour l'égalité des droits. À une époque où les mouvements pour les droits des femmes continuent de faire entendre leur voix, ces écrits sont non seulement des documents historiques mais aussi des manifestes pour l'avenir. Ils soulignent l'urgence de repenser les rôles sociaux et politiques, et montrent que le combat pour l'égalité, bien qu'initié il y a plus de deux siècles, demeure toujours d'actualité.

English description: First published in 1791, the Declaration of the Rights of Woman and the Female Citizen stands as one of the boldest political texts of the French Revolution. By mirroring the Declaration of the Rights of Man, Olympe de Gouges exposed its central omission: the exclusion of women.

Affirming that woman is born free and remains equal to man in rights, she demanded political representation, property rights, education, and civic participation. Executed during the Revolution, she became a powerful symbol of intellectual courage and civil equality.

This edition also includes Condorcet's On the Admission of Women to the Rights of Citizenship (1790), a philosophical defense of political equality between the sexes. Together, these texts illuminate the foundations of modern democratic thought.
