Summary

Susan K. Foley traces the changes in women's lives in France from 1789 to the present, examining debates over gender and the anxiety created by women's perceived departure from ideals of womanhood. Foley explores major controversies over matters such as reproductive rights, significant cultural changes, and women's often under-estimated political roles. In so doing, she demonstrates women's efforts over two centuries to create a place in society on their own terms.
