Not only did they rule out wm's efforts inthe past but they discouraged girls for thefuture. Each time a wman first entered a spherethat men considered as their private field, itarouse the same hostility

Medicine: when the first woman to become a doctoraround 1930, received her diploma in a publicceremony in Paris, the famous Dr Charcot, farfrom congratulating her, said: "Now has comethe time of female doctors ! their claims areoutrageous ! They are contrary to Nature' lawsand contrary to aesthetics."

Believe a scientific !

As for Sports, same reaction: when Pierre deCoubertin restored the Olympic games around 1930he required that no woman should enter a stadium.Female olympics, said he, are unthinkable. theywould be unfeasible, unaesthetic and incorrect".

I would also like to say a few words about a very hypocrit and modern wayof discouraging women's progress: it is in Francerefusing to use the feminine gender to designatethem. I am still involved in a fight to changethings, since 1984, when I became Preste of aCommittee founded by our min. for wmn'sRights, Yvette Roudy. we worked in order topropose feminine forms for the new tradespractised by women.
