| Marie Antoinette Film Clip from Marie Antoinette, Directed by Sophia Coppola "I Want Candy", Bow Wow Wow Bio on The Queen of France M. A. http://www.greatkat.com/03/marieantoinette.html http://crime.about.com/od/history/qt/lstwrds_antnet.htm Convicted of treason, Queen of France Marie Antoinette's final words before being executed by guillotine were spoken to the executioner after she stepped on his foot -- "Monsieur, I beg your pardon."
Marie Antoinette was the Queen of France during the French Revolution. She was disliked because of her Austrian ancestry and because of her arrogance and extravagance during a time when peasants were starving.
In 1789 Paris was seized by the revolutionaries and Marie Antoinette and her husband King Louis XVI were held as prisoners at the palace of Tuileries until 1792 when they were charged with treason. Both were sentenced to die by beheading. Louis was beheaded on Jan. 21, 1793 and Marie followed him to her death in October of that same year.

Fish Mongers March on Versailles
Wollstonecraft speaks
http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/story.asp?storyCode=157847§ioncode=6
Living in France for part of the revolutionary period, Wollstonecraft reacted more favourably to moderate republican bourgeois women than to street revolutionaries. The market women's march to Versailles moved her to fury: "That a body of women should put themselves in motion to demand relief… is scarcely probable… the lowest refuse of the streets, women who had thrown off the virtues of one sex without having the power to assume more than the vices of the other."
