Résumé

"Le féminisme français II: L'émancipation politique et familiale de la femme" by Charles Turgeon is a treatise on feminist theory written in the early 20th century. This work continues Turgeon's exploration of women's rights, focusing on political and familial emancipation, advocating for equal rights in civil, electoral, and domestic domains. The book aims to critique the historical limitations imposed on women and argues for their political participation as a fundamental aspect of social justice and gender equality. At the start of this volume, Turgeon lays out the foundational ideas of feminism, emphasizing the necessity of women's participation in all spheres of life, including politics and family governance. He critiques traditional views that have historically restricted women’s rights based on notions of propriety and gender roles. Specifically, he discusses how economic empowerment must lead to political rights, arguing that women's contributions to society warrant recognition and equality in civic matters. The opening sets a strong tone for the discussions to follow, illustrating Turgeon’s intention to challenge societal norms regarding gender and advocating for a more equitable legal framework for women.
