	Feminism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Feminism is a diverse, competing, and often opposing collection of social theories, political movements, and moral philosophies, largely motivated by or concerning the experiences of women.
		Feminism as a philosophy and movement in the modern sense may be usefully dated to The Enlightenment with such thinkers as Lady Mary Wortley Montagu and the Marquis de Condorcet championing women's education.
		Feminism has effected many changes in Western society, including women's suffrage; broad employment for women at more equitable wages; the right to initiate divorce proceedings and the introduction of "no fault" divorce; the right to obtain contraception and safe abortions; and the right to university education.

		Revolutionary feminism was thus crucially marked throughout its existence by the fact that it came out of and remained tied to the extreme Left, whether because women continued to be active in mixed groups or because that part of the Left was the interlocuteur valable of the movement.
		French women can no longer be represented exclusively through their familial roles (which was the traditional Right’s favourite way of addressing them) or as ungendered members of the working class (where the Left tended to assimilate them in its universal category).
		French citizens, regardless of their family situation or class location, must now be addressed at least sometimes in gendered terms.

		Some French men—they regret it now—confused parité with their pleasant republican notion of “liberté, égalité, fraternité,” the rallying cry of the revolution; they heard the word and it sounded nice, and they assumed they would never have to think about it again.
		French politics was still a men’s club, with the occasional female guest—like dinner in the old days at the Knickerbocker or the Century.
		Maybe French men know something that French women only suspect—that the real power is somewhere else now, in the boardrooms, in the investment banks, in that mystical globalized cyberspace where money dies and is born again, in the big Brussels computer where “Europe” lives and old notions of politics are as obsolete as a typewriter.

	FEMINISM
		French Feminist Theory: An Introduction outlines the philosophical and political diversity of French feminism, setting developments in the field in the particular cultural and social contexts in which they have emerged and unfolded.
		Thus, although some French feminists are more concerned with material economic conditions and others with psychological and affective structures, their preoccupations often coalesce in attempts to identify and interrogate both obvious and latent connections between the social domain and the psyche, social change and individual transformation.
		Although Burwell’s primary focus is on contemporary feminist thought, she situate her analysis of feminism within the larger tradition of social discourses that, in attempting to break with existing conditions, reject the utopian impulse toward escape or idealism in favor of a "standpoint approach" that derives social transformation from a group’s position within existing conditions.

	Feminism in France since 1970 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Feminism was undoubtedly one of the most influential and revolutionary movements of the twentieth century.
		With feminism somewhat in crisis at the end of the 70s, feminists were led to reflect on what the women's movement had achieved.
		In the media, postfeminism is generally understood to mean one of two things, either that feminism has achieved its aims and so must disappear, or, that feminists have given up the cause (realising the error of their ways) and feminism no longer serves any purpose.

	Salon \| Divorce, Franco-American style
		Through the misadventures of Isabel and her sister Roxy, a pregnant poet whose French husband has left her for another woman, Johnson examines those qualities considered to be quintessentially American -- naiveté, youthful idealism and a frustrating but often charming ignorance -- and juxtaposes them against the sophistication and stubborn rationalism of the French.
		French feminism comes from such a different place, in that French women have a better starting point.
		French feminism, such as it is, is more pragmatic and more willing to analyze how the lives of women really are.

	SAGE Publications - French Feminism
		Feminism in France has a long and continuous history which stretches right back to the Middle Ages where one finds texts by women denouncing inequality and the unjust subordination of their sex.
		Marked by a libertarian culture influenced by Marxism, socialism and psychoanalysis, the feminism of the 1970s rejected the reformist and legal vision of women's emancipation, politicised the private sphere, and demanded social and political equality.
		Each section is preceded by an introduction which places the contributions in their material and social contexts to show how French feminism has evolved in response to concrete struggles and institutional constraints as much as to sophisticated intellectual discourse.

		Cixous is allied to other French feminists in her emphasis on the unconscious, the deep structures of culture and language, and the usually hidden female body.

		The challenge for a psychoanalytically informed feminism, as Peebles formulates it, is to move beyond an approach that always views the feminine as the mere negation of the masculine rather than as a subject position in its own right.
		In our final paper, "The Linguistics of French Feminism: Sémanalyse as Critical Discourse Analysis," Katherine Arens argues that although they often rely on the texts of Julia Kristeva, many feminists ignore the fact that her work is grounded in theoretical and critical linguistics.
		She adds that French feminists and other critical theorists such as Lyotard, Deleuze and Guattari share with Irigaray and Kristeva a model of human subjectivity that transcends the simplistic and essentialist models often attributed to them.

	French Feminism in the 19th Century by Claire Goldberg Moses
		"French feminists focused on that which was most new and therefore most unsettling for nineteenth-century women as well as on the rights that had recently been granted to men but denied to women.
		This explains nineteenth-century French feminism's recurring start-and-stop cycles and the frequency with which an entire generation of experienced leaders was silenced, as happened in 1793, in 1834, in 1850, and in 1871.
		Previously, French feminism was the most advanced and energetic feminist movement in the Western world, but by 1850 its leaders were all in jail or in exile." p.

		Organizing this encounter will be three themes: nationalism (what makes French feminism, French?), colonialism (to what extent does Eurocentrism underwrite the critique of phallogocentrism”;?) and politics (what happens to “class struggle” when women become a “class?”).
		Second, given the centrality of writing, indeed cultural production as a whole, to French feminism, we will attempt to engage the “figural language” of this theoretical discourse both to assess its force at the level of the text, but also to broach the topic of the politics of textuality.
		In other words, as with any movement, French feminism came to be represented, both from within and without, by discourses that sought to strike up positions in relation to it.

		In her controversial book Women's Words, Mona Ozouf argues that French feminism lacks the rancor and resentment of its counterparts in England and America and explains why this placid, even timid brand of feminism is uniquely French.
		Ozouf uses the woman's portrait, traditionally a male genre, to portray ten French women of letters whose lives span the period from the eve of the French Revolution to the resurgence of the feminist movement in the late twentieth century.
		Ozouf claims that a uniquely French feminism informed these women's lives, one that stems from the great egalitarian spirit of the French Revolution and is more tolerant of difference than its American counterparts.
