Olympe de Gouges, author of the Declaration of the Rights of Woman and of the Female Citizen, dreams of a society with equal rights for all. In prison under Robespierre's rule, awaiting her trial, she speaks with Justine, a painter making her portrait. Her last five months are told in her own monologues and those of twelve women who cross her path, each with a different view of her.
