The Women's March on Versailles, which occurred on October 5, 1789, was a pivotal event during the early stages of the French Revolution. Thousands of women, fueled by anger over food shortages and the high price of bread, marched from Paris to the Palace of Versailles. Their goal was to confront King Louis XVI and demand action regarding the severe economic crisis affecting the common people. This march exemplified the growing discontent among the populace, showcased the mobilization of women in the revolution, and ultimately led to the king being pressured to move to Paris, symbolizing the shift of power from monarchy to the revolutionary forces.
