Book Synopsis Sex, Honor and Citizenship in Early Third Republic France by : A. Mansker
Book excerpt: A repositioning of French women's struggle for suffrage within the distinct cultural landscape of the masculine honour system. Whether activists demanded admission to the popular ritual of the duel or publicly shamed men for their extramarital sexual behaviour, they appropriated extralegal honour codes to enact new civic and familial identities.
