"The more I see of men, the more I like dogs."

- Roland on the revolution.

Marie-Jeanne Phlippon Roland, better known simply as Madame Roland (17 March 1754 – 8 November 1793) was an influential member of the Girondist faction during the French Revolution.

An early feminist, Roland was guillotined in late 1793 along with the rest of the Girondists, as they were overthrown by the Jacobins, marking the beginning of the Reign of Terror.
