Abstract
Abstract This article examines the dress of female civic rights activist Théroigne de Méricourt and its political significance in Revolutionary Paris. The first section discusses the symbolism of her iconic scarlet riding habit. The second section explores the role of equestrian fashions in Théroigne's strategy of self‐fashioning as a political actor. The third section considers the change of Théroigne's habit into a tricolour ensemble, traditionally interpreted as a parody of military garb. The fourth section argues that this new dress instead constituted a political uniform adopted by Théroigne and other militant women to further their campaign to acquire full citizenship rights.
摘要本文考察了女性民权活动家thsamroigne de msamricourt在大革命时期的着装及其政治意义。第一部分讨论了她标志性的猩红色骑马习惯的象征意义。第二部分探讨了马术时尚在thamesroigne作为政治演员的自我塑造策略中的作用。第三部分考虑到thsamroigne的习惯变成了三色旗，传统上被解释为对军装的模仿。第四部分认为，这种新服装反而构成了thsamroigne和其他激进妇女为进一步争取充分公民权而采用的政治制服。
