  • Françoise Dupont (fl. 1796), was a French militant Jacobin active during the French Revolution. She was married to the soldier Barbant (Barbaux, Barbaut) and worked as a laundrywoman. She came to be known as one of the most infamous female Jacobins in Paris during the Reign of Terror. She participated in the persecution if political dissidents and was active as an informer who reported suspected contra revolutionaries to the Committee of Public Safety, resulting in their arrest and executions by guillotine. Her reports are kept in the archives. Among them were the reports on the nuns of the Maison de Hospitalieres, who she reported as a government agent, having posed as a patient in their hospital. She has been referred to by contemporaries as one of the infamous tricoteuse, the female Jacobin fanatics, watched the executions of political prisoners while knitting. After the fall of Robespierre, she participated in the Lagrelet conspiracy, when she encouraged and acted as the leader of starving women protestors to riot against the government. She was searched for by the authorities as one of the instigators, but avoided arrest by going in hiding. She benefitted from the amnesty of 1796. (en)
  • Francoise Dupont, död efter 1796, var en fransk militant revolutionär jakobin, verksam under den franska revolutionen. Hon var gift med soldaten Barbant (Barbaux, Barbaut), som sedan 1792 var i fält, och arbetade som tvätterska. Hon gjorde sig känd som en av de mest strikta jakobinerna under skräckväldet. Hon var verksam som angivare åt jakobinerna under skräckväldet och bidrog i utrensningarna av oliktänkande och kontrarevolutionärer, och många angivningar från henne finns bevarade i arkiven, bland dem hennes angivning av nunnorna i klostersjukhuset Maison de Hospitalieres, vilka hon angivit sedan hon låtsats vara en kontrarevolutionär patient. Efter Robespierres fall medverkade hon i Lagrelet-konspirationen 1795, då hon uppviglade hungrande kvinnor till upplopp mot regeringen. Hon angavs själv och utpekades som en av de mest ökända , "stickerskorna", en karikatyr av blodtörstiga kvinnor som satt vid giljotinens fot och stickade medan de gladde sig åt avrättningarna i jakobinsk nit. Hon ska ha angett åtminstone trettiofem personer, som halshöggs. Hon lyckades dock undvika arrest genom att flytta och en amnesti utfärdades 1796. (sv)
