Women's Rights and Women's Lives in France 1944-68

by Claire Duchen

Overview

Women's Rights and Women's Lives in France 1944-1968 puts women on the map of France between post-war liberation and the uprisings of May 1968. Claire Duchen explores what women were doing with their lives and considers the tensions created by competing visions

of womanhood. In addition, Duchen looks at the debates during this period and grounds them in the social reality of post-war France.

Based on an extensive range of primary sources including women's magazines, prescriptive literature, political documents, fiction and memoirs, this is the first account of women's lives during this period and will be an invaluable text for those interested in post-war France.
