French businesswomen and feminism in France in doubt
In France feminism has failed to captivate much of the populace, with prominent women like former minister Alice Saunier-Seite opting for a view of feminine creativity over rights activism. The piece surveys French women’s status, noting legal milestones since 1944, the limited number of women in top posts, persistent job segregation, and the cautious, nonconfrontational stance shaping reforms under President Mitterrand. It profiles leaders such as Francine Gomez and Edith Cresson, and quotes figures like Francoise Giroud on politics.
