Emerging Feminism from Revolution to World War

Geneviève Fraisse is Research Associate in Philosophy, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Paris. Michelle Perrot is Professor of Contemporary History at the Université de Paris VII. Georges Duby, a member of the Académie Française, is Professor of Medieval History at the Collège de France. Michelle Perrot is Professor of Contemporary History at the Université de Paris VII.

The fourth volume in the ambitious project of the French historians Duby and Perrot to present the history of women from the antiquities till now proves that strong ambitions are worth pursuing. After antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the early modern period, this fourth volume deals with the nineteenth century. The final volume about the twentieth century is already published and with that a true masterpiece is done… This volume is fascinating, mainly because it gives such an extensive and comprehensive overview of the discourses of femininity and gender, and of all the arguments which have been used in relation to these themes in everyday knowledge, public debates, and social policies.
