This dissertation reinterprets the French Revolution through the lens of care ethics, analysing the writings of Mary Wollstonecraft and Sophie de Grouchy. The research argues that these thinkers anticipated modern theories of care, interdependence, and gender equality, offering early proto-feminist visions of social institutions grounded in community and mutual responsibility.
