Description

Responsable du cours : Christèle LE BIHAN-COLLERAN 

This seminar will examine the theoretical framework and political activism of the so-called “second wave of feminism” as well as its ramifications with other social and political movements of the time. This course, which will cover the period between 1945 and 1990, will mostly use primary sources so as to understand the origins and objectives of this second wave of feminism as well as the challenges and opposition it had to face.
