Editor's Notes
- The witch hunt began in the 16th century, mainly in Europe. At this moment, capitalism controls everything, even the body of the woman he deems dangerous, unknown and indomitable. According to it, "For love", a woman must devote herself to her husband and family. There were many ways to be considered as a witch: speak loudly, have a strong character, have a sexuality too free ... Most of the time women accused of witchcraft were able to take care of and accompany deliveries. In this climate of terror, women have begun to keep a low profile, they have now become discrete, docile, prude or polite. Between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, the witch hunt killed between fifty thousand and there was one hundred thousand victims, tortured, sexually assaulted and burned.
- At the heart of the 70s, Italian feminists had seized the witch to make it the subversive symbol of female revolt. Their French sisters had followed, and a feminist literary magazine bore the title of Witches, under the leadership of Xaviere Gauthier, Marguerite Duras or Nancy Huston. And then, driven by the steamroller of the 80s, which brutally closed the tracks -launched by the counterculture, the witches have eclipsed. Leaving in their wake only the old and ugly creatures of children's tales and, in favor of yet another TV replay, the adorable but harmless Samantha, My Beloved Witch ...
- Today, women who have the "misfortune" of being too competent at work, too old, too sexually liberated and / or who do not want children are no longer burned, but they are the object of the same mistrust (and still suffer multiple sexist violence, moreover). The woman we called "witch" was nothing but an independent woman, who was not defined in relation to a man. She lived in harmony with nature and with her emotions and had no choice but to be a mother, to marry, to keep quiet … we can cite the Women's International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell (WITCH) movement, whose members marched hand in hand hand on Wall Street proclaiming the fall of the stock market (which, fortunately, happened). But also, fifty years later, the "witches" who met in Washington to cast a spell on Donald Trump.
- Most important : 1869 + 1960 + 1977 France : 1909 - Creation of maternity leave / 1945 - First vote of women / 1974 - Right to abortion
- In today's society, there are many inequalities between men and women. These inequalities are present at work, at home or in the political sector.
- Average full-time weekly wage for a woman is 15,3 less than a man’s 1 in 2 mothers reported experiencing workplace discrimination as a result of their pregnancy, parental leave or on return to work Women work ⅔ of the world’s hours yet earn 1/10 of the world’s income 64% of illiterate adults are women Men only do 20% of household chores 1 in 3 will be beaten or sexually abused in their lifetime
- Around the globe,there are many movements campaign to defend the rights of women. We can cite, for example, the Ukrainian femen group and its members who parade the bare chest to protest against corruption, prostitution ... or the French collective La Barbe denouncing the absence or under-representation of women in the economy, politics, culture and the media. Some movements become, in recent years, mixed.
- In France, fathers account for only 3.5% of parental leave users and have on average 1.4 weeks of paternity leave. It is necessary for the father to spend time with his child to increase his development. Thus, many countries are fighting to increase the paternity leave period. Moreover, in some countries, it is men who stay at home to care for children and women who go to work.
- The mental load includes the planning work required to ensure the children make it to Bollywood dancing, the refrigerator is stocked for dinner and the smoke detector battery gets replaced. It's incessant, gnawing and exhausting, and disproportionately falls to women. Women adopt the mental load in part because we've been socialised that way (our mothers and grandmothers did it, so we are doing it). But it's also because we anticipate that the blame for any family or domestic failures will fall at our feet But earlier this year, a French cartoonist by the name of Emma gave form to the concept in her cartoon "You should have asked". Women described seeing Emma's cartoon as a 'light bulb moment', which gave them the language to explain the constant nagging associated with running a household.
