Heroes? No, Simply Men: French Revolution Stories

This presentation-colloquium in Madrid offers a fresh take on the French Revolution, focusing on the ordinary people who made it happen—mostly men, as the role of women was unfortunately secondary, though some remarkable women are highlighted who would have been protagonists in another context. The event aims to share history in a more accessible, less academic way, making it a great choice for anyone curious about the human side of this pivotal period.

Held at the María Lejárraga Municipal Public Library in the Hortaleza district, the session invites attendees to listen and engage in conversation. With free entry until capacity is reached, it's an easy addition to an evening in the city, offering a chance to explore history in a relaxed, community-focused setting.
