Summary "Les Filles Publiques sous la Terreur" by Hector Fleischmann is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the often-overlooked aspects of women's lives, specifically the lives of prostitutes during the French Revolution's Reign of Terror. By focusing on this marginalized group, the author aims to illuminate the complexities of their existence amidst a backdrop of political upheaval and societal change. At the start of the book, the author introduces the intricate and delicate subject of prostitution during the revolutionary period, acknowledging the challenges of addressing such a contentious topic. He highlights how the lives of women in this precarious situation have been neglected by historians, despite their critical roles in the social fabric of the era. The opening segment establishes a rich, vivid portrayal of Parisian society during the Terror, where love and violence coexist. Through police reports and historical documents, Fleischmann suggests that understanding the lives of these women provides valuable insights into the broader dynamics of the time, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of their experiences and the societal implications of their struggles.
