Résumé
THE MARRIAGES OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL DEPUTIES The marriages of the ecclesiastical deputies to the Convention were revolutionary acts which provide insight to the revolutionary status of women. Responding to the sweet sentiments of nature, some of these priest-deputies married poor citoyennes, rich in republican virtues. But the dowry, still considered necessary, revealed that the revolutionary bourgeoisie did not rule out advantageous matchmaking. In the marriage announcements the wives were not identified as individuals but through the male members of their families. The revolutionary « domestic virtues of a household » elevated wives as companions but in a male-dominated household. Ruth GRAHAM.
