All three were thinking and writing about political philosophy, especially equality and social justice, before the French Revolution. As they became engaged in its efforts, their political writing became more urgent. At a time when women could neither vote nor speak at the Assembly, they became influential through their writings. Yet instead of Gouges, Grouchy and Roland, we speak of Voltaire, Rousseau and Diderot.  Sandrine Bergès examines the lives and writings of these trailblazing women philosophers, and their impact on philosophical thought during the French Revolution. Featuring pictures, a timeline and a bibliography of their works, this book offers exciting new insights into the history of political philosophy and of the French Revolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImaginative, instructive, and engaging, \u003ci\u003eLiberty in their names\u003c\/i\u003e  lifts Olympe de Gouges, Marie-Jeanne Roland and Sophie de Grouchy from  under the historical carpet where they were swept despite their  significant contributions to the social and political thought of the  French Revolution. * Sylvana Tomaselli, Sir Harry Hinsley Lecturer in History, St John’s  College, University of Cambridge, UK *\u003cbr\u003eThis brilliant book fills an important need, shedding light on the  female philosophers of the Revolutionary period in France.
