Anne-Josèphe Théroigne de Méricourt was one of the most notorious people in the French Revolution. She arrived in Paris ready for revolution, used her theatrical experience to design unforgettable outfits, and did her best to fight for women's rights (with a sword by her side).
We're joined by Claire Mead to talk about the gender shenanigans of Théroigne's saga, and why she deserved much better.
