About this source

What it is

This is a Spanish radio programme from 2007, titled in its record as a programme about Olimpia de Gouges, revolucionaria. It was made by Radialistas. The record gives only the title and the date, so the facts do not describe what the programme says. It is a modern audio recording, not a voice from her own time.

Why it matters

The programme shows how people in the twenty-first century have chosen to present Gouges, in this case as a revolutionary. It is useful as a secondary study of how her life is interpreted, not as a source of her own words.
