Women's Rights in France

Women's Rights in France describes the changes in politics and policies affecting women that occurred in France between 1965 and 1985. Dorothy McBride Stetson examines the policy changes underlying the new rights of women in France and analyzes the influence of feminists in bringing them about. She establishes a historical perspective for the recent changes and uses a simple organizational scheme to explicate the legal and statutory provisions of the French government concerning women's rights and issues of politics, reproduction, family issues, education, work, and sexuality.
