what rights given to french women
Answers
The roles of women in France have changed throughout history. In 1944, French women obtained women's suffrage. As in other Western countries, the role of women underwent many social and legal changes in the 1960s and 1970s. French feminism, which has its origins in the French Revolution, has been quite influential in the 20th century with regard to abstract ideology, especially through the writings of Simone de Beauvoir
Rights
Women's Rights in France In February 1848, the provisional government recognized three rights essential to the new democratic and social republic: universal suffrage, education, and employment. Parisian women immediately demanded the inclusion of women in the democratic and social restructuring of the state. The most active advocates for women's rights were women who had been associated with the Saint Simonian and Fourierist movements of the 1830s: Eugenie Niboyet, Jeanne Deroin, Suzanne Voilquin, Desirée Gay, and Pauline Roland. Their arguments were supported by some socialists and republicans who promoted general democratic and social change and by working women who petitioned specifically for economic reform. These advocates of women's rights accepted the prevailing concept of women's unique affective nature and moralizing role, but rejected limiting women to the private sphere and based their arguments for women's rights on their domestic duties. Their appeal for the emancipation of women meant freedom for the full public and private exercise of these responsibilities rather than liberation from them.
