Anatomy of a Massacre

Gender, Power, and Punishment in Revolutionary Paris

MARY BOSWORTH

Fordham University

This article describes the massacre of 35 women in the Paris Hôpital de la Salpêtrière in September 1792. The killing of the women in the city's largest prison-hospital complex for women was a unique event in the French Revolution's history because it was the only all-female institution targeted during the September Massacres. Using archival documents, the author explores what the violence against women in Salpêtrière suggests about gender and punishment at the dawn of modernity.
