The Third Republic, known as the 'belle epoque', was a period of
lively, articulate and surprisingly radical feminist activity in
France, borne out of the contradiction between the Republican
ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity and the reality of
intense and systematic gender discrimination. Yet, it also was a
period of intense and varied artistic production, with women
disproving the critical nearconsensus that art was a masculine
activity by writing, painting, performing, sculpting, and even
displaying an interest in the new "seventh art" of cinema. This
book explores all these facets of the period, weaving them into a
complex, multi-stranded argument about the importance of this rich
period of French women's history.
