How did salons contribute towards the French Revolution?

I am writing a Historical Investigation on how the role of salons were significant to the French Revolution and i need some help finding some trusted sites for background information and if possible could someone provide me with the sites and also summarize what happened? I am a little confused as to how it all connects together. Thanks.How did salons contribute towards the French Revolution?
Well, salons were normally hosted by cultured intellectual ladies who enouraged all sorts of philosophers, writers, etc, to mingle and discuss their new ideas. so that way some of the ideas of enlightenment philosophers, like Voltaire, Monatsqeue, rousseau etc would be spread about. And the ideas of these philosophers did influence the leaders of the French Revolution.
