as I don’t know how to put information about her in a succinct clever way if you don’t know who she is go look up Louise Michel, you will not regret it she’s really awesome.

- all of that's just sort of random extra trivia to her political/revolutionary career of course
- and her closest ally was a man called theophile ferre
- and signed letters to him as enjolras
- but i could talk about her for hours
- but still pretty cool
- coinsidences getting a bit wierd there
- i'm going to shut up now
- not just as a woman who was able to do something interesting in history
- particulary if you also like les mis
- she was a friend of victor hugo
- she was known as the red virgin of montmartre
- she's also really interesting to look at as someone with feminist leanings in the 1870s
- ymmv but i think there's some interesting gender related discussion surrounding her too
