Photographic history of women in the 20th century

This history of women in the 20th century, as seen through the Roger-Viollet collections, is the history of their emancipation. Freeing themselves from the guardianship of their fathers or husbands, they eventually obtained all civil rights, on an equal footing with men. These hundred years were for women a conquest of their freedom. But how did they live during these decades? What was the fate of their time? Which famous women have marked their time?
The Roger-Viollet Gallery exhibits a selection of 86 photographs from the book Une histoire photographique des femmes au XXe siècle published by Gründ Editions.
