Belle Epoque? - Women And Feminism In French Society And Culture 1890-1914

23,78€ + 10% CARD

 The Third Republic, known as the belle epoque , was a period of lively, articulate and surprisingly radical feminist activity in France, borne out of the contradiction between the Republican ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity and the reality of intense and systematic gender discrimination.
