Claire Lacombe
Claire Lacombe (4 August 1765 – 2 May 1826) was a French actress and militant during the French Revolution. In addition to being known as an effective street fighter during the early phases of the Revolution, Lacombe was a founding member of the Society of Revolutionary Republican Women, a political club of largely working class women. The Society militated for participatory democracy and for policies that would meet the basic needs of urban workers, who suffered from high food prices and food shortages. It was later to be crushed by the Jacobins, along with other working class movements such as the san-culottes and the enragés.
