Excerpt from Les Femmes Enceintes Devant le Tribunal Révolutionnaire: D'Après des Documents Inédits
Bien des femmes, cependant, affolées par l'idée de mourir, avant de passer du guichet à la charrette, se déclaraient sur le point d'être mères et obtenaient un sursis. C'était une règle traditionnelle du droit pénal'. Les médecins du tribunal décidaient de leur sort, et la plupart du temps, il faut l'avouer, leur diagnostic concluait trop vite à l'exécution immédiate.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a gripping exploration of a dark chapter in history - the execution of pregnant women during the French Revolution. The author, a historian, delves into the chilling details of these tragic events, drawing on first-hand accounts, autopsy reports, and court documents. The book exposes the stark reality of the era, where revolutionary fervor often overshadowed basic human compassion, leading to the execution of innocent women simply because they were suspected of royalist sympathies. The author analyzes the legal and medical criteria used to determine pregnancy at the time, highlighting the arbitrary and often erroneous nature of these assessments. It also sheds light on the courage and resilience of these women, many of whom faced their fate with unwavering dignity. Through its meticulous research and compelling narrative, this book provides a profound insight into the depths of human suffering and the fragility of justice during a period of extreme political upheaval.
