In post-revolutionary France, where they lacked political rights and were subject to an exclusively masculine republicanism, George Sand, Maria d'Agoult, Hortense Allart, and Delphine Gay de Girardin wrote women into politics and republicanism by articulating a model of womanhood between the poles of feminist equality and republican motherhood. Furthermore, continues Walton (history, Purdue U.) the four acquaintances rewrote the republican script regarding family relations, positing egalitarian alternatives to the patriarchal family.
