Claire Duchen is Senior Lecturer in French at the University of Sussex. She has also taught at the University of Bath and at Oxford Brookes University. She is the author of Feminism in France from May '68 to Mitterrand and editor of French Connections: Voices from the Women's Movement in France.
Women's Rights and Women's Lives in France 1944-1968 explores women's everyday lives in France between the liberation and May '68 and considers the tensions created by competing visions of womanhood. In addition, Claire Duchen looks at the debates concerning women that were current during the period, and grounds them in the changing social reality of postwar France.
