Through the lens of women's political and popular writings, Sandra Reineke presents a unique interpretation of feminist and intellectual discourse on citizenship, identity, and reproductive rights. Drawing on feminist writings by Simone de Beauvoir, feminist reviews from the women's liberation movement, and cultural reproductions from French women's fashion and beauty magazines, Reineke illustrates how print media created new spaces for political and social ideas. This sustained study extends from 1944, when women received the right to vote in France, to 1993, when the French government outlawed anti-abortion activities. Touching on the relationship between consumer culture and feminist practice, Reineke's analysis of a selection of women's writings underlines how these texts challenged traditional gender models and ideals. In revealing that women collectively used texts to challenge the state to redress its abortion laws, Reineke renders the act of writing as a form of political action and highlights the act of reading as an essential but often overlooked space in which marginalized women could exercise dissent and create solidarity. 606 $aFeminism$zFrance$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aFeminist literature$zFrance$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCitizenship$zFrance 606 $aWomen$xPolitical activity$zFrance 606 $aWomen$xSexual behavior$zFrance 606 $aWomen$xIdentity 615 0$aFeminism$xHistory 615 0$aFeminist literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCitizenship 615 0$aWomen$xPolitical activity 615 0$aWomen$xSexual behavior 615 0$aWomen$xIdentity. 676 $a305.420944 700 $aReineke$b Sandra$01803666 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968061603321 996 $aBeauvoir and her sisters$94351312 997 $aUNINA
