Author: Sian Reynolds. This book argues that the period saw another kind of instability, for these were years when the all-male monopoly over political life in the French Republic was being undermined and challenged.
From the implications of new technologies, like aviation or the factory assembly-line, to the politics of social work at the dawn of the welfare state, France Between the Wars reveals the significant political roles taken by women. This is important not only for our understanding of France in the period, but also for demonstrating how a history focused on gender can contribute to new kinds of historical analysis.
