Essay / Research Paper Abstract
12 pages in length. Urban France underwent significant changes to its economic, political and social landscape during the formation of early modern Europe. Revolts were considered rather commonplace with regard to the need for such change, illustrating how the subservient population ultimately dealt with elitist control of the monarchy. Interestingly, however, is the extent to which women had a part in the violent uprisings that sprung up throughout the fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; theirs was a participation based primarily upon the detrimental social and economic impact such issues as the stiff rise in taxation, religious oppression and high food costs had upon the home. Indeed, it was difficult enough to maintain the home front without these added burdens; as such, women felt it was time for their collective voices to be heard. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

the home front without these added burdens; as such, women felt it was time for their collective voices to be heard. "The period of regency by Anne of Austria
and cardinal Mazarin in France after the death of Louis XIII in 1643 was a precarious one...Although most rebel leaders still justified their actions defensively in terms of legal, religious
and political traditions, the absence of an adult king enormously increased the scope for criticism of the crown...[T]he situation became more serious after French military setbacks in 1646 and after
it became apparent that the Spanish war would go on despite negotiations to bring peace in the German lands. The resulting series of revolts, the Fronde (1648-1653), revealed all
the weakness of the French monarchy, and yet came nowhere near providing any alternatives to Bourbon absolutism" (Munck 212). II. WOMENS DISCONTENT
The people of Paris had fallen into the hands of a king whose only desire was to assert his power, while at the same time completely ignore the masses.
