"All the polls show French society to be very open to the idea of a woman President," says Françoise Gaspard, a feminist sociologist and former Socialist Deputy. "But the political parties are still very archaic, controlled by men who can't stand the idea. The fact that Ségolène is no longer acting as a 'comrade' but as a rival is completely astonishing for them, and completely...
