The Women’s March on Versailles was one of the most dramatic moments of the French Revolution. It was a bold and desperate act driven by hunger, anger, and a burning desire for justice.

The 2017 Women’s March was held on Jan. 21, the day after U.S. President Donald Trump’s inauguration, in protest of his attitudes about women, immigration and health care, among other issues.
