CAMILLE DESMOULINS IS 250 TODAY!

I don't actually have anything to commemorate the event, sadly. However I would like to encourage you to spare a thought (and perhaps a few words, if you feel so inspired) for this man who slipped into history - and more than a few peoples' hearts in the past 250 years - against the odds. I could never express how grateful I am for it.

She writes Desmoulins' articles, even her looks are not stereotypically feminine.

I can't remember that bit - was I looking away? I'm obviously hanging off the subtitles, so I do miss rather a lot. She becomes activist, certainly but from what I remember, it was mainly in defence of her family.

She appears as writing Desmoulins' paper. When I'll have some time, I will look for the part of the movie in youtube and link you to it.

Here, I have found it.

Thanks! I completely missed that part.

And she's looking after baby Horace too. Dantoniste multi-tasking!

Modern superwoman (Central European style), she cannot bother Desmoulins with actual work of any kind, can she? ;-)
