CY CASE - Women and union organization in France (19th - 20th century)

Women and labor  Restrictions and incapacities  Since the middle ages, a woman is under male authority, she is economically dependent of men who control all her life: since her birth, she receives the authority of her father; authority is given to her husband when she marries, for their domestic life; masculine authority follows her at work, under the orders of her employer… When they had the chance to have a job outside of the family home, women were slowed by corporations (in the early modern period), because most did not accept the settlement of women in a male-dominated social world of work.  It is only at the end of the 18 th century that corporations ended, especially in France with the d’Allarde decree in march 1791, and in Great Britain : from then on, women could join easily the industry.

EUTopia PEAK EVENT: Connectedness in Legal History (Brussels: 14-15 March 2024)

(event poster; credits: dr. Elisabeth Bruyère) The European University EUTopia brings together universities across the European continent, as well as partners from the whole world.

Uniting VUB, CY Paris, the University of Ljubljana, Nova University Lisbon and the University of Warwick this year the EUTOPIA Connected Learning Community Legal History has focused on the Connectedness in Legal History. Just as EUTopia connects students across Europe this year's theme, announced on November 30, looks back in history to see how connections are made through the law. This the VUB graciously held our Peak Event on  March 14 and 15  which allowed our students from each institute to meet each other in person. After touring Brussels and working on their presentations this has led to this year's blog posts. These have ranged from  Cheyenne Larivière's  look into the Constitution and governing of the Austrian Low Countries during the eighteenth-century to   Maéva Le Bot's  look at women's fight for feminism and labour equality with the unions. Below we have made a world map linking to each blog post and presentation spanning the globe from Slovenia...
