The Declaration of Men blamed women for the “sole causes of public misfortunes and government corruption”. Olympe was an enlightenment thinker and was familiar with what they had thought. She used this to her advantage to try and gain the Enlightenment thinkers to believe in what she had written about. Not all women agreed with what she had stated in her Declaration for Woman because not all women were educated and not all women had the drive and the courage to speak up like Olympe had done. The enlightenment thinkers used “reason” to get their way so Olympe thought she would have all the Enlightenment thinkers on her side. In reality not many were on her side, Robespierre thought the same way she did, not about how all women should own property but that they deserved education. Yet he still voted in favor for her
