In this collective book, readers will discover women’s lives in Europe from the 18th to the the 21st century. Our sources span most Eurpean languages, are translated into French and involve 66 contributors from Europe who wrote historical comments. 11 chapters and 77 entries, from women’s rights, to education and health, from participation or denial of it in art and sciences or wars, deal mostly with ordinary women introduced by women and men over the period. A good read, to be enjoyed continuously or bits by bits.
