Answer 1

The women of France were desperate, unable to feed their children because of the high cost of bread

Step-by-step explanation:

Women led the initial revolts against the French government when the price of bread became so out of reach that they were unable to feed their families. Since they could not meet their basic need for food within the French system, they were willing to strike out against those they believed to be causing the problem--primarily the king and his family.
