Roland de la Platière, Marie-Jeanne

    0.01 sec.

Roland de la Platière, Marie-Jeanne (1754–1793)

French intellectual politician whose salon from 1789 was a focus of democratic discussion. Her ideas were influential after her husband Jean-Marie Roland de la Platière (1734–1793) became minister of the interior in 1792. As a supporter of the Girondin party, opposed to Robespierre and Danton, she was condemned to the guillotine in 1793 without being allowed to speak in her own defence. While in prison she wrote Mémoires.
