Which of the following statement(s) is /are true for Olympe de Gouges ? 1. She was one of the most important politically active woman in revolu- tionary France. 2. She was one of the members of the Committee that drafted the Declaration of Rights, of Man and Citizen. 3. She wrote the Declaration of the Rights of Woman and Citizen. Select the correct answer using the code given below :

Olympe de Gouges was a prominent feminist and one of the most important politically active women during the French Revolution [2]. She was deeply dissatisfied with the 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen because it excluded women from basic human rights [2]. In response, she authored the 'Declaration of the Rights of Woman and of the Female Citizen' in 1791, which she addressed to Queen Marie Antoinette and the National Assembly [4]. While she protested the original 1789 document, she was not a member of the committee that drafted it; that document was produced by the National Constituent Assembly, whereas Gouges' work was a critical counter-manifesto [3]. Therefore, statements 1 and 3 are correct, while statement 2 is incorrect.
