 Since the revival of neo-republican thought in contemporary political philosophy, several philosophers of the past have been re-interpreted as republican thinkers. This is the case, for instance, with Mary Wollstonecraft, who until recently was thought of as a liberal thinker, is now seen by many as an important source for feminist republicanism (Halldenius 2015; Berges &amp; Coffee 2016). Although we should be weary of reading too much contemporary political theory into past thinkers, in particular when it comes to very technical arguments and definitions, it is nonetheless often helpful to focus on the central themes of republican thought in order to understand these thinkers. In particular, the Revolutionary engagement with liberty was very often framed in Roman terms with arguments that to become a republic was to become free from domination by an arbitrary power. These thoughts resonated particularly strongly, and sometimes differently for women philosophers as they considered whether their positions as wives and daughters in a patriarchal society meant that they too were dominated, and would carry on being so in a republic unless marriage and family laws were reformed. This was the focus of Mary Wollstonecraft and Olympe de Gouges, but it was less so in the case of Grouchy, who to some extent relied on her husband’s more powerful and influential voice to propose feminist reforms.
