Abstract

Women’s and Gender History in France: the Early Modern History The French École des Annales and the Nouvelle Histoire provided a favorable context for the development of historical researches about family, sexuality, mentality, in the Early Modern period. It was much more difficult, in spite of this, for feminist French historians to be accepted by their colleagues. However, two handbooks of Early Modern Women’s History were published in 2003: this means that Women’s History is now part of the curriculum in French universities, in spite of the fact that feminist historians refused to create independent Women’s Studies Departments. Some question arise: did Women’s history loose its political impact? Is it, as Christiane Klapisch-Zuber suggested, now accepted just as a simple variant of social history “French way”?
