French feminist, awarded Commandeur de la Légion dhonneur and Grand-Officier de lordre national du Mérite. In 1955, she proposed along with the gynaecologist Marie-Andrée Weill-Halle to found an organisation to promote birth control. This would be the Maternité Heureuse, which became the French Movement for Family Planning two years later. Thereafter she wrote many successful feminist works. In 1967, at the Université Paris X Nanterre, she created the first course in the world based on studies devoted to women: the place of women in political life, while passing by Sociology and Women in the Workplace.
