[ send me this essay ]
12 pages in length. Urban France underwent significant changes to its economic, political and social landscape during the formation of early modern Europe. Revolts were considered rather commonplace with regard to the need for such change, illustrating how the subservient population ultimately dealt with elitist control of the monarchy. Interestingly, however, is the extent to which women had a part in the violent uprisings that sprung up throughout the fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; theirs was a participation based primarily upon the detrimental social and economic impact such issues as the stiff rise in taxation, religious oppression and high food costs had upon the home. Indeed, it was difficult enough to maintain the home front without these added burdens; as such, women felt it was time for their collective voices to be heard. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
