Do you even Wikipedia? Just going through the list: 1. Notable figure of the French Revolution 2. Duchess 3. Politician, member of the French Convention 4. Officer 5. Aristocrat, lawyer, public official 6. Noblewoman, court official 7. Hairdresser

The most oppressive is hairdresser I guess.

Wikipedia is not the Truth. That list is incomplete and selective. Seriously, there are much better sources that paint a much better picture of the grandeur, glory, and absurdity of the French Revolution. I would start with the Revolution podcast, which is itself imperfect but still presents a lot of the nuance missing in this sort of discussions.
