#OnThisDay, 1 Apr 1792, former spy Etta Palm-Aelders speaks to the revolutionary French parliament.

Her demands?

The right for women to be admitted to civilian and military positions.

The education of girls to be based on the same principles as those of boys.

That women could become adults at the age of 21, and could get divorced.

Her demands were refused.
