What are women fighting for?

Through more than a dozen key nodes of the French women's equal rights movement over the past 200 years, we can see that women have overcome many difficulties to get to where they are today. Wearing trousers, receiving education and taking exams, choosing jobs, obtaining property protection, opening bank accounts, applying for divorce, having the right to vote and be elected, and receiving painless childbirth are all obtained by women in the torrent of the times through repeated game with patriarchy. 1. Historian Mathilde Larre's groundbreaking work, with sharp humor, pictures and texts, tells the story of France's feminist journey over two centuries.

【Editor's recommendation】

1. This book is a feminist masterpiece by historian Mathilde Larre, which reviews more than a dozen key stages in the development of feminism in French history. The author's humorous and sharp language and the illustrator's interesting hand-drawn cartoons use a combination of pictures and texts to review the journey of the feminist movement in France over the past two centuries.

From fighting for universal suffrage, equal civil rights, opportunities to receive education, the ability to manage one's own body to opposing violence, these things that may seem commonplace to us today were all won by countless ordinary women fighting bit by bit!

Second, even though the times are different, the difficulties faced by women are always similar. Faced with many problems in growth, work, marriage and childbirth, how should we think with feminist thinking?

"As teachers, they all deeply understand the inequality between men and women in education, and they all realize that women's liberation must be achieved through education - this is a universal truth." "Women's bodies are healthy, not weak and sickly, born with defects, or even dangerous as traditional medicine imagines." "Compared to staying at home and facing poverty alone, work provides a possible path to economic independence. ... Without the wages they deserve, female workers will still be trapped in the rule of patriarchy."

3. On the one hand, a chronology of major events in the French feminist movement from 1791 to the present day has been carefully compiled. This is a path that not only "they" but also "we" have taken. On the other hand, representative viewpoints drawn in cartoons that have influenced the historical development of feminism have been compiled, so that "her history" can be heard in "her voice."

The history of feminism cannot be described as a "wave". Every tiny progress is the result of the efforts of countless ordinary women. It is through this chronology that we can see every footprint on the road of feminism. Women's expressions, women's views, and women's history are all worth being understood and remembered by more people. Some people are carrying heavy burdens and moving forward, so we should cherish them and continue to move forward with them.
