Olimpia de Gouges, or rather Marie Gouzes, married at a young age and quickly became a widow. After the death of her husband, she felt free and abandoned her old name, becoming Olimpia de Gouges. Called the daughter of the Enlightenment, a libertine and a republican, she moved in the circles of the most important figures of the French Revolution, such as Voltaire, Rousseau, Mirabeau and Lafayette.

Her works, including the play "Zamor and Mirza, or the happy sinking", which criticized slavery, and the "Declaration of the Rights of Woman and the Citizen" of 1791, in which she demanded gender equality and the right to vote for women, went down in history. The demands of Olimpia de Gouges remain relevant to this day, inspiring subsequent generations of feminists.

In this comic book biography, Catel and Jose-Louis Bocquet take us through the life of Olimpia de Gouges, showing her determination, courage, and dedication in the fight for justice. It is the story of a woman who paid the highest price for her beliefs, but whose legacy remains alive and inspiring.
