The Women Incendiaries

by Edith Thomas
A great book about the role women played in the Paris commune of 1871.
Their role was significant and the book produces good evidence to refute the belief that the main role of women in the commune was burning things down.
The question it leaves you with is why it took so long afterwards to give women a strong role in French politics and society. 9/10
