Exhibition on Women’s Emancipation from 1789 to 2000

Exhibition from September 28, 2022, to January 29, 2023

The Carnavalet Museum presents a unique overview of the history and legacy of the struggles for women’s emancipation, focusing on the history of feminism in Paris.

The exhibition follows a chronological timeline that begins with the demand for “civil rights” for women during the Revolution and concludes with the law on gender parity in 2000. Between these two dates, the dynamic of women’s emancipation unfolds, explored in all its dimensions: it encompasses the right to education as well as the right to work, civil rights and civic rights—so difficult to obtain—but also the freedom to make choices about one’s own body and access to artistic and cultural creation. Parisian women citizens take on a thousand and one forms in the service of countless causes, in a capital city that makes history, creates icons, and fosters the avant-garde and collective struggles.
