Medical professionalism aimed at excluding midwives
and folk healers. Alcoholism thrives in England (ÒDrunk for a penny, dead drunk
for 2) The middle class gathered
in ÒcoffeehousesÓ to discuss the news of he day. During Fr. Revolution women
are involved in politics (Bread March, Declaration of Rights of Women) women
also formed the Society for Revolutionary Republican Women a group which fought
for equal rights for women. The organization was condemned by the
ÒMountainÓ because it broke with the traditional and accepted role of
women. Noteworthy is the concept
that most women who participated in the events of the revolution did so as
members of their social CLASS, not their GENDER. Women gained little from the revolution itself.
