Opis

Since obtaining the vote in 1945, there has been an evolution in the condition of women's lives in France. Women have brought about far-reaching legislative change and have gained their say in French politics through the Ministry of Women's Rights. The philosophy and ideology of the French Women's Movement has exerted a powerful influence on feminist thinkers in Europe and America.
