Today Davie, Yvonne and I talked about how we were going to separate the research that we need to do. We decided that we are all going to work on doing research and then meet sometime Wednesday and combine everything that we have found. I started research on JSTOR but wasn't really successful so far. I will keep looking on the library sources and find some other websites online that will give me some good background info.

We started working on our interview questions, and we started the storyboard and started getting pictures that go with what we want to say in the script. We each came up with a question.

Interview question two: Tell us more… About the 7000 peasant women quest for bread Why do you think that this is one of the most significant turning points for women during the revolution, especially since women were still trying to rise?

The March on Versailles was a changing point in the early stages of the Revolution. It not only set the groundwork for the fall of the king, but it also gave women an important role.

 On October 5th, 1789, one of the most noteworthy events took place at the King’s residence at Versailles.

 Enraged group of working class women—6000 in number--- stormed to the Versailles palace after hearing the rumor that the King and the Queen were hoarding grains from the public.  The skyrocketed price of bread made the women in the streets to gather in Paris and organize a meeting; on the way to palace the women picked up canons and weapons. They started singing songs of killing Marie Antoinette.

 Demands were also being made for the royal family to leave their palace and return to Paris. Hesitantly, Louis XVI agreed and the family was placed in house arrest at the Tuileries Palace. They were joined by the National Constituent Assembly and the king's court. Louis XVI would never see Versailles again.
