The Directory was dysfunctional but not a dictatorship. I mean, what kind of dictatorship cuts the executive power five ways?
Napoleon’s reign is a mixed bag. He did cement some of the gains of the Revolution but it still wasn’t a good time to be a woman or a former slave.

Worse than in other countries? Serious question. Women seemed implicated in the revolution a lot for example (not always in a good way). Maybe it freed the mind of people.
