caption: Marie-Jeanne ROLAND de la Platière (17 March 1754 - 8 November 1793), viscountess consort, born Manon Philipon in a family of the lower middle class of Paris, wife and adviser of Jean-Marie Roland viscount de la Platière (1734-1793), inspector of manufactures and economist under Louis XVI, then Minister of the Interior of the Girondine government. Passionate student since she was a child, reading Plutarch matures the conviction that the State must work for the well-being of all its citizens, not only its monarch, therefore in its time she adheres and passionately promotes the revolutionary movements, while disapproving and detesting their ways violent. Cultural animator of the Girondist salons (which due to her undisputed influence are sometimes identified as "Rolandisti"), after their fall she was arrested and sentenced to death: led to the guillotine, passing in front of the statue of Liberty she would have pronounced the famous phrase: " O Liberty, how many crimes are committed in your name! ". Engraving by Charles-Etienne Gaucher (1740–1804), France 18th century
