Encyclopedic overview
Jeanne Marie "Manon" Roland de la Platière (Paris, March 17, 1754 – Paris, November 8, 1793), born Jeanne Marie Phlipon, and best known under the name Madame Roland ( French pronunciation: [madam ʁɔlɑ̃]) was a French revolutionary, salonnière and writer.
From a young age Roland was interested in philosophy and political theory and studied a broad range of writers and thinkers. At the same time she was aware that, as a woman, she was predestined to play another role in society than a man. After marrying the economist Jean-Marie Roland de la Platière, she did develop with him a husband and wife team which made it possible for her to engage in public politics.
