Gullickson analyzes the representations of women who were part of the insurrection known as the Paris Commune. The uprising and its bloody suppression by the French army is still one of the most hotly debated episodes in modern history. Especially controversial was the role played by women, whose prominent place among the Communards shocked many commentators and spawned the legend of the pétroleuses, women who were accused of burning the city during the battle that ended the Commune.In the midst of the turmoil that shook Paris, the media distinguished women for their cruelty and rage. The Paris-Journal, for example, raved: "Madness seems to possess them; one sees them, their hair down like furies, throwing boiling oil, furniture, paving stones, on the soldiers." Gullickson explores the significance of the images created by journalists, memoirists, and political commentators, and elaborated by latter-day historians and political thinkers. The pétroleuse is the most notorious figure to emerge from the Commune, but the literature depicts the Communardes in other guises, too: the innocent victim, the scandalous orator, the Amazon warrior, and the ministering angel, among others. Gullickson argues that these caricatures played an important role in conveying and evoking moral condemnation of the Commune. More important, they reveal the gender conceptualizations that structured, limited, and assigned meaning to women as political actors for the balance of the nineteenth and well into the twentieth century. 410 0$aACLS Humanities E-Book. 606 $aWomen?s rights$zFrance 606 $aWomen revolutionaries$zFrance$zParis$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aParis (France)$xHistory$yCommune, 1871 615 0$aWomen?s rights 615 0$aWomen revolutionaries$xHistory 676 $a944.081 2 686 $aNP 5620$2rvk 700 $aGullickson$b Gay L.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01020148 712 02$aAmerican Council of Learned Societies. 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996247902703316 996 $aUnruly Women of Paris$92409929 997 $aUNISA
