Marie Le Moel

The Truth About French Women (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

It might look like yet another book about how French women stay slim, sexy and chic but rather than capitalising on the stereotypes, Marie-Morgane Le Moel is busting them. She does this by examining the reality of an "average" French woman's life as depicted by national statistics, before reflecting on the role played by French women in history and contemporary politics. One enviable truth that does not get a lot of attention is that they are able to balance work and motherhood with greater ease than women elsewhere because of France's comprehensive state-funded child-care system. While the sexed-up French woman might be a cliché, Le Moel happily acknowledges that the French do love "the game of seduction", which is as much about playful social interaction as it is about sex. Busting the myths, Le Moel shows, can be as entertaining as burnishing them.
