Reine Audu

On 5 October 1789 she, alongside Théroigne de Méricourt, led The Women's March on Versailles.

At Versailles, she belonged to the delegation allowed an audience with the monarch to put forward their complaints.

She led the march back to Paris with the royal court in triumph.

She was freed 15 September 1791 by the efforts of the Cordeliers and Louis-Barthélemy Chenaux.

In a book published in 1802, author Pierre Joseph Alexis Roussel reported that Reine Audu's mental health declined during her stay in prison and that she "died insane in the hospital in 1793".
