Women's Movements and Feminism: French Political Sociology Meets a Comparative Feminist Approach
Résumé
The chapter starts with exploring the ways in which comparative research on women's movements has challenged dominant conceptions in social movement theory, notably the antagonism between movements and institutions and the conflation between protest and disruption. The chapter then turns to the specific insights of French research on women's movement and feminism. First, a series of studies have explored the politicization of gender identity and the historical interplay between mobilizing as women and for women. Second, there has been much examination of the complex ways in which feminist protest has become engrained in state institutions. Third, several works have focused on the process of diffusion and individual appropriation of feminist ideas outside the women's movement. A last line of research has recently put emphasis on the intersecting power relationships that shape the contemporary women's movement.
