Answer:
Yes.
Explanation:
How would you define the French approach toward gender equality?
Fundamental rights are universal. This has been one of our core ideas since the French Revolution. However, this can sometimes hide the basic issue of gender discrimination. There is a tension between trying to take the same approach for both genders and having policies that compensate for society’s biases toward women. Building a fair, equal society is eventually a political goal.
Susan, how does this echo the fact that Wellesley only admits women?
Susan Reverby: Wellesley was created [in 1870] to prove that women could do what men could do. That’s the purpose of a women’s college. From the very beginning, it was clear that the campus would build an understanding about women’s experiences and the role of gender. The Women Studies department, however, added a new dimension to that. The college told our students “you can do anything,” while our department said, “well if you can’t, there’s probably a structural reason for that.”
