Detailed Solution

The revolutionary wars in France caused casualties and economic problems for people. The Constitution of 1791 only gave wealthy people political rights. Thus a large portion of the citizenry thought the revolution needed to continue. While the men were gone fighting at the front, women were left in charge of taking care of household duties and earning a living. Most women in the Third Estate depended on their jobs for financial support. They sold flowers, fruits, and vegetables at markets and worked as dressmakers or domestic helpers in the homes of affluent individuals.
