The late 1700s was a period that saw the birth of many new ideologies, in particular revolutionary ones. It also created new concepts that are now commonplace in politics, such as citizenship, equality under the law and individual freedom. These concepts were not only important from a nationalistic perspective, but they also changed the way people thought about gender.
For example, Olympe de Gouges published her <em>Declaration of the Rights of Woman and the Female Citizen</em> in 1791. In it, she criticized how the Revolution had focused so much on the equality of men but did little to address the inequality of the genders. She was tried and executed for her writings.
In the UK, Mary Wollstonecraft was prompted to write <em>A Vindication of the Rights of Woman: with Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects</em> in 1792. In this work, she addresses double moral standards and the unfair expectations of women in society.
Other early defenders were Jeremy Bentham in his Introduction to the <em>Principles of Morals and Legislation</em> (1781) and Marquis de Condorcet in his <em>For the Admission to the Rights of Citizenship For Women</em> of 1790.
These authors contributed to what became known as the feminism movement in subsequent centuries.
