Madame de Saint-Baslemont de Neuville
Class, possession, role, clothes: the masculine power’s symbols occulted the signifiers of femininity

Jeanne Hachette
Temporary warriors Husband’s cowardice
Roucher’s epic Le Mois: ”Be men for them… if they are women for you”
Women are more militant than the men Exemplum virtutis, model for men and women Moral vervor, patriotic emotion

Goya, c. 1810. ”They are acting like wild beast”
Absence of war propaganda
Negative vision of the women warriors … and of war in general
The women are forced by war to behave ”like wild beasts”
They behave like something other than women: men or animals

Eugene Delacroix: Liberty Leading People, 1830

Venus of Melos

Liberty
Liberty is a bellicose leader not a peacemaker
Is an allegory, not an historical figure
Dramatic energy, convinction
Leading a mixed group of males
Ambiguity
Semi-nudity of classical sculture and rought proletarian cloth of the working class
Is idealized, but at the same time concrete and sensual
Prototipal women-warrior in the history of art

Liberty and sensuality
Domesticity is irrilevant for Delacroix: a dandy
Liberty has the same sensual vividness of other paintings
