Unlike the women who embraced the Revolution to become among the essential personages in the history of this era, those women who repudiated the Revolution, opposing change, have attracted significantly less scholarly interest. Little studied, this second group remains associated with the most prominent figures among former nobles still attached to their earlier privileges, as well as to the “fanatics” in the forefront of religious resistance. Since the royalism of women associated with the former nobles seems in large measure self-explanatory, as does that of those animated by religious sentiment seemingly removed from strictly political issues, the actual relationship of these groups of women to the monarchy has been relatively unexplored. In this article, the author focuses on those women who did not belong to the former privileged category, and who in Brittany, evolved in the circumstances of latent civil war, a condition that opened up exceptional possibilities of action. By researching how non-noble Breton women were able to manifest their attachment to royalty, the author seeks to examine through the perspectives of gender the contours and forms of royalism in the Revolution. With this still neglected subject, the author will lay the groundwork for future research, guided above all by the question of sources and methods of analysis.
