Today
in labor history (international edition), October 5, 1789: 6,000 angry
working-class women -- armed with everything they had and could get
from the city armory -- march in the rain from Paris to King Louis XVI’s
palace in Versailles to demand bread. Once there, they stormed the
gates and compelled the king to return with them to Paris, which proved
to be his downfall.
