Publisher Kilowatt
COLLECTION Un jour ailleurs
Category Children's Books
Age 6-99-12
Less than 60 years ago, French women had to get their husband's permission to work outside the home. What will they be wanting next?

When Claire's parents divorce, she moves to a small town with her mother, where she change schools, adapt, and make new friends. It's not easy! Her mother, the first female doctor in town, is very busy, and takes her job to heart. But while she works, Claire dreams of becoming a majorette, like her friend Sylvie... who dreams of becoming a doctor! In the France of 1965, women are not free to do what they want. Fortunately, the laws change, and women finally secure both the right to work and to have their own a bank account without their husband's permission.
