The women marched to Versailles during the French Revolution on October 5, 1789, primarily due to rising bread prices and food shortages, which made it difficult for them to feed their families. Frustrated by the lavish lifestyle of the royal family amid their suffering, they demanded bread and sought to confront King Louis XVI. This march is often described as both a powerful expression of women's anger and a pivotal moment that highlighted the disconnect between the monarchy and the common people. Ultimately, it led to the royal family's relocation to Paris, symbolizing the shift of power towards the revolutionaries.
