Geneviève Fraisse. YANN LEGENDRE
Geneviève Fraisse is a philosopher and director of research emeritus at the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). From 1997 to 1998, she served as the French interministerial delegate for women's rights under Socialist prime minister Lionel Jospin. A specialist in the history of feminist theory, she is the author of, among others, L'Egalité sans Retour ("Equality without return") and Le Féminisme, ça Pense! ("Feminism thinks!"). As a philosopher, she has explored the historical and epistemological reasons that help explain the persistence of a sense of impunity among many men. She saw this phenomenon as a symptom of the blind spots in the Enlightenment social contract, which, though it allowed civil liberty and equality to be instituted, did not extend those considerations to relations between the sexes.
