Summary

Offers an account of how the French tried and failed to come up with a stable regime for themselves. This book reveals a country with a gap between Paris and the provinces, in which feminism had its own, tortured history, and which managed to lie at the heart of modernity and yet was agonised by a sense of its fall from former greatness.
